Summer event 2023 – A success – brings in over 39,000 francs

A success More than 39,000 francs were donated at this year's summer event - we are speechless and thank all Friends who took part and those who simply donated from the bottom of our hearts. None of this would be possible without you! We can look back on a perfect and unforgettable celebration! We were able to spend a special evening with dear friends on the terrace of the Haute in glorious sunshine. Theresa Sowry, CEO Southern African Wildlife College, captivated us with her stories about the great work in Africa and touched us deeply.

Kids who care – Respect

Respect yourself! The "Kids who care" project starts with the youngest children: College employees visit schools in the surrounding villages of the Kruger Park. There they not only teach the children basic things about nature conservation and animals, but also how to respect themselves. Because caring is not possible without self-care! The children learn to value themselves in a playful way and to treat themselves with respect. The "care" in "Kids who care" stands for this self-care and care, which is promoted by the project through games and learning units. The aim is to promote "caring communities" that treat themselves and the environment with respect. Respect the others!

Start with the little ones!

Education is one of the highest goods. Unfortunately, many children around the world are excluded from this, which makes it very difficult or even impossible for them to enter working life later on - including in South Africa. Education is fundamental, especially with regard to nature and wildlife conservation. Children need to be made aware of their environment at an early age, as this is the only way they will learn to protect it and live in harmony with it.
