We are steadily progressing through our Global Citizenship topic, based on our community of Palmora Falls. Lots has happened since our last post:

• Palmora Falls has featured on BBC Earth as an area of natural, diverse beauty and interviews have been conducted with members of the local community
• An interesting discovery was made – a local community member found a silver and gold veined rock when searching for fertile soil. The rock was sent to a mineral laboratory for further investigation, and the results were veeeeery exciting!
• We decided to research what the mineral/metal underground could be using information sheets and internet sources.
• A mining representative has been in touch – and wishes to visit PF’s to discuss future, potential plans. We have a LOT of unanswered questions and worries after looking into the devastating effects of Mining globally. We do, however, appreciate the benefits of technology after our case study this week – and know that not all tech is bad tech.
