Students from 4 to 17 years of age will receive certificates. Also on the agenda for Saturdays event is an Ambassador of Peace award for teachers and Hearts to Africa members.

The non-profit group is using the opportunity, in the run up to the event, to express its appreciation to all of it supporters and urge them to keep up that support.
