School Milk List is a service of FAO’s Trade and Markets Division<http://www.fao.org/economic/est/est-commodities/dairy/school-milk/en/> Another late submission of celebrations for World Milk Day … from small town in the Eastern Cape of South Africa! ☺ Woodlands Dairy celebrated World Milk Day by visiting Schools in Humansdorp and surrounding areas on 1 June. This visit formed part of a week-long World Milk Day celebration campaign. For five days from 1 to 5 June, we visited two schools per day and reached approximately 2300 learners in Grade 1 and 2. The journey that milk travels from the farm to the fridge was explained as well as the importance of consuming dairy products. The children were mostly fascinated by the fact that a cow has four stomachs and that it needs a minimum of 150 litres per day in order to stay healthy. In order to make sure that the learners listened to the messages conveyed, a short question and answer session was held and we rewarded learners who answered correctly with t-shirts and cooler bags. We donated ten soccer balls to each school and every learner received flavoured milk after the talk. We were well received at the school and the Principal, teachers and learners were appreciative of the time and effort Woodlands Dairy afforded them by visiting and imparting knowledge relating to our business and the benefits of milk and the production process of milk and its by-products. The event was well received and I would recommend that we continue with this initiative in 2016 over a five day period. Here as some pictures from local newspapers.
