Save the Frogs Day, 30 April 2010
March 11th, 2010
In an effort to raise awareness of the plight of amphibians, the scientific community has declared Friday April 30th, 2010 the 2nd Annual ‘Save The Frogs Day’. On this day we encourage the appreciation and celebration of amphibians by people from all walks of life.
Please get involved and help spread the word. Only a small proportion of our public is aware that frogs are disappearing, and amphibian conservation efforts will not be successful with an uninformed public. Our goal is to make the amphibian extinction crisis common knowledge by Save The Frogs Day: help make it happen!
We will be hosting educational programmes – watch out for us in your community creating awareness of frogs and the amphibian crisis

Learners get the Green Rule of the Day!
March 3rd, 2010
The Miss Earth South Africa in association with Consol have been rolling out a National Stationery Drive. Stationery was collected from both corporates and private individuals over the past two months. Rulers, pencils, pens, chalk, highlighters, koki pens, crayons sharpeners and pencil cases to keep it all safe, were handed out at Elethu Themba at the end of last month.
Last year saw the launch of the Green Legacy Campaign, this year Elethu Themba’s Grade Fours were the happy recipients. Newsclip Media Monitoring, Legacy Hotels, Columbine Crossing, Imperial Toyota, Proudly SA, SA Garden Magazine, Nadene Devraj, Adilia Teixeira, CEF, Taryn Barker and Wesizwe Platinum all assisted in the collections. Stationery was even received from a group of individuals in the US, that have supported this drive from it’s inception last year. The Barefoot Day held at Eagle Hill School in the US collected stationery from walkers, thank you to Jessy Bonzek and her 1 Mile Barefoot Team for their support.
Three schools in Limpopo were included in this drive, along with Jane’s Haven and Marang Home in Johannesburg. Stationery is always needed through out the year so please keep us in mind… Thank You to all the Stationery Collectors who made this all possible.

Last year saw the launch of the Green Legacy campaign happen at Elethu Themba too. 100 trees were planted at the school with guests and celebrity faces. Many more initiatives are planned for this school as the year rolls out.
Stationery Drive!
February 9th, 2010
Dear Friends of the Miss Earth South Africa
As you might have heard we are doing our annual Stationery Drive and with your contributions over the last few weeks, we have managed to collect stationery for the entire Grade Four year at Elethu Themba Combined. To those who have contributed to make the 2010 Stationery Drive happen, a very big heartfelt THANK YOU!!!
We will be putting stationery packs together for each child equipping them to start the new school year in the correct manner… The Miss Earth South Africa in association with Consol would like to deliver a glass jar for the collections. The amount of benefiting learners depends on the amount collected, so we need Your Stationery!!
The ear marked schools are frightfully underprivileged, and learners share pencils among themselves because they simply do not have their own. Rulers, colour pencils, erasers, highlighters and a scissors are a luxury - We want them to start their year on a positive note.
Have a look through your desk, study at home - look for old pens, pencils, broken rulers…Think of it as a Summer Stationery Clean Out!!! We always get new pens and pencils… but do we ever clean out? Ask your children, encourage others in the office to help fill the Glass Jar.
If you are willing to help – Please let the Miss Earth South Africa Office know, so that a Glass Stationery Jar can be delivered to your office or picked up from ours …
