To tell a story about our lives in South Africa today, we broke
into four teams.
Each team chose a name, and practiced using the digital
cameras. Then we decided what stories we wanted to tell.
These are our themes: Culture,History, Peace
& Happy People.

This is Pretoria, the city where we live.
Come, explore Pretoria with us!
We picked themes then took pictures in:
- Church Square in central Pretoria.- The parks and markets in our neighborhoods.
- Freedom Park, which honors the end of Apartheid.- The Union Building, where our first president Nelson
Mandela was inaugurated.
