HOW YOU CAN YOUR SCHOOL HELP?
Please kindly circulate “Our African Penguin is expected to go extinct in 12 years” document containing crucial information about the current extinction risk faced by our native African Penguin and how we can all help to make a difference to your learners and parents.
As you know knowledge is key and we firmly believe that awareness and understanding could greatly assist in the preservation of this species.

HOW YOU CAN YOUR SCHOOL HELP?
We also request your school to participate in the #NOOW African Penguin Support Week in schools across South Africa. Your schools can pledge their support in many ways pledge in support of the #NotOnOurWatch campaign by participating in a penguin activity at school during the last week of September (26th to 29th)
Have your school join in the #NOOW Penguin awareness week and pledge their support to saving the African Penguin from extinction. If thousands of young people raise their voices to try to save this endangered species, they will get the whole country to listen.
The “How to partake in the #NOOW African penguin Awareness week” document holds more information on just how your school can get involved and make their voice heard.
You can encourage school learners and staff to wear black and white clothes or accessories to school or hold your own school African Penguin waddle across the sports field, create a mural or come up with your own initiative.
And help us SPREAD THE WORD by taking pics and sharing them on your school pages and social media tagging #NOOW and #AfricanPenguin. And emailing pictures to the #NOOW campaign at info@africanpenguin.org and we can then share them on our platforms.
