Skolasajf will once again be
welcoming children during the summer months of 2020. This year the theme
will be ‘My Planet, My Home’, reflecting the need to be responsible
citizens that take care of planet Earth. It is
this very responsibility which will earn us the privilege to remain living
safely; a healthy Earth determines our future as healthy citizens.
