eSibonisweni + Saint Mark's: Time Flies!

Time Flies!

Here are some pictures done for the art project conducted during Saint Mark's 2006 visit to eSibonisweni. These two were done by two of the students arriving here on Friday. They were then in the third and second grades. The artworks, organized by our library assistant and support teacher extraordinaire, Hewitt Jackson, were turned into calendars and note cards that were sold back in the United States to benefit eSibonisweni.

About Us

This blog records the experience of two seemingly disparate school communities who entered into a partnership in 2001: eSibonisweni Primary School, located in the rural northeast of South Africa, and Saint Mark's School in San Rafael, California. School partnership works from a model in which a challenged local community is engaged in leading its own development. We believe that the developed world can lift up the developing world without creating a culture of dependence. But it takes time and the efforts of many hands, hearts, and minds. And more time. After ten years and four visits to South Africa by members of the Saint Mark's community (over 160 students, parents, teachers, and administrators to date), we were honored with our first visit from six students and five teachers from eSibonisweni in January 2011. Here's to the next ten years! For more information about our partnership, visit www.saintmarksschool.org/our_community/sister.aspx.
