Posters
Our selection of posters are a vibrant and colourful way to introduce your pupils to life in east Africa, and give examples of children who have been helped by us:
- Our green poster gives information on food in east Africa and links to the lives of Rose and Janvier;
- Our blue and pink posters have fun lesson ideas and information on the reverse.
- Our map poster (currently out of stock) includes information on how our 'Pass it On' principle works
To order these resources, visit our Cowfiles site order page, you can also download resources that are linked to all our posters and the DVD.
Our DVD
The Cabbages and Cowpats DVD promotes sustainability and has toe-tapping music, engaging animations and an easy to follow script.
