Last weekend, MGEF held an Elders & Mothers Workshop at Ilmotio Primary School. As noted in the final report, "The turn up was low because many people were hindered to attend by an elephant which was loitering within that area."

Check out their Facebook page and website! http://reversethecourse.org/


Reverse the Course
