Hosted by Dr. Jacinta Delhaize & Dr. Daniel Cunnama.

In Episode 19 we learn all about the inspirational Astro Molo Mhlaba project in Khayelitsha (Cape Town). This project targets the issues of inclusivity and diversity in South African astronomy by engaging the most underrepresented group – black girls from under-served communities. Dr. Margherita Molaro and Mahaneng “Honey” Phali, the programme coordinators, join us to explain what Astro Molo Mhlaba is, how it works, why it was established, and the benefits to the community. The facilitators are Akhona Bunzi, Naletsana Chapi, Okuhle Mjali and Andisiwe Shasha. The non-English parts start at about 1h 54m and last about 10 minutes.
