Ysterpla School

Cape Town, South Africa

March 26, 2002

The joint Permission to Dream/A-MAN South Africa outreach effort continued to the Ysterpla School, also in Cape Town.  There, noted South African astronomer Case Rijskijk was present to share his thoughts on the importance of astronomy to secondary education.  Case's home institute is the South African Astronomica Observatory, which will be providing the local expert astronomy support that is so crucial to the success of the global astronomy project at every school.
