radio show 12 April 2010 – market kids

This was the first time sister Rasela took the belly mike on excursion, and she had a wonderful time.

"The Ocean Shores Public School children and their headmaster Chris Horitz welcomed a bit of Belly along to their 
New Brighton Farmers Market excursion on a bright Tuesday morning in March. 

I met up with just one of the lucky classes from the school, recording and witnessing the excitement as they shopped 
happily amongst the stalls, sampling, tasting and purchasing fresh produce to take back to the school to prepare for 
lunch in a programme that teaches the children the nutritional benefits of fresh, locally grown, quality produce and 
how to budget and prepare a delicious and nutritious meal.

During the interview with the headmaster, he pointed out the growing relationship between the individual classes that 
attend the markets weekly and the generous growers who also provide seedlings for the school garden project. 

This was a wonderfully rewarding day for the school, the stallholders and myself alike as the true community spirit 
and good intention for the future generation shone brightly and was evident in the sparkle of the childrens eyes."
