The process has begun. The writing and design team members got together on Friday afternoon to start making the paper pulp that will be used for the paper making with the two schools (Nyeluza and Kingswood College) during our first workshop lesson next week.
With piles of paper scattered around (old newspapers and printer paper we've been collecting all week), us five spent quite some time tearing up little pieces of paper into a huge tub. It went fast in the beginning but we soon realised filling the tub will take a lot more work than we thought. That didn't stop us working of course. Finding new methods of tearing the paper faster and having paper tearing competitions kept the work fun and before 5pm our task was completed: the tub was full.
Just add water and stir. Part one of our mission was complete. Now to just wait till it all turn to the perfect pulp and then we can go teach those schoolkids how to make their own recycled paper.
