You can’t complain when Dr. Jane Goodall shows up to spend an hour talking to the Roots & Shoots students. The club had almost 50 sign-ups for the third quarter and what a wonderful surprise to have Jane Goodall and Tara Golshan, executive director of Roots & Shoots, at our 2018 launch. The students asked excellent questions. We learned that:
– We thought that her favorite animals were the chimpanzees but we found out her favorite animal is the dog.
– We learned that we should be persistent in life and to never give up.
– That the population of chimpanzees is going down.
– Jane has never seen any tigers!
– People think that hyenas are a dangerous species but they really aren’t.
– Jane takes the stairs two steps at a time!!!!! We watched her walk up our atrium steps.
– We learned that everyday we have an adventure that awaits.
– We learned that only if we understand can we care.
– Jane was supposed to be a secretary according to the men around her.
– Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved.
– Her visit to our Roots & shoots group meeting was a once in a lifetime experience!
