The Princes talking to students.

The Harlem Children's Zone is a community organisation that offers families and children social and educational services. Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso visited to learn more about their work supporting under privileged children, and exhanged discussion about how Sentebale supports children in Lesotho.

The Princes were shown around HCZ by the President and CEO Geoffrey Canada. They were introduced to staff on arrival and then joined a Maths class. The teenager students chatted to Prince Harry about a series of Maths equations.

Prince Harry asked the class: "Who is the best pupil, who is the cleverest at Maths?"

After a teacher replied that all of them were, The Prince joked: "I was always the worst."

Both of The Princes then sat down with a group of students who asked them about the work of Sentebale and the problems that children face in Lesotho. Prince Harry explained how a big problem in Lesotho is the culture of herd boys and that Sentebale are working to help them get an education through providing night schools.

Prince Seeiso said that while the problems in Lesotho are large with high HIV/AIDS rates, the work of the charity to help the children is making a real difference and will continue to do so into the future.

After the question and answer session there was a cooking demonstration in the school cafeteria. After being talked through the ingredients that made up the African dish he was being served, Prince Harry grabbed his neck and said: "Anchovies, urgh," to the laughter of the gathered youngsters. But he gamely chomped away at the prepared meal and chatted to Khalil Davis, who turns 10 next week.

After filling up on a meal of mince and rice, The Princes were taken to the school sports hall where games of hockey and American football were taking place. Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso decided to join in the games and raced against each other in an obstacle course. Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso took their marks and set off at high speed to their goal - a balloon perched on a chair. They arrived at roughly the same time, sitting firmly down, bursting the inflatables in the process. It was a close run thing, but Prince Harry took it as a victory, holding his arms aloft and taking in the cheers of the pupils.

The visit was a great success and Sentebale look forward to staying in touch with the Harlem Children's Zone in the future, sharing ideas and project work in support of both the children in Harlem and in Lesotho.
