Educate African Children to Save Their Environment

A warm welcome to everyone!
We’ve had a lot happen here at DAKTARI; new additions such as the Bush Pig (Molly) and two new Meerkats that the kids love.

Careers guidance weeks; where we take in older students and help them build a CV and cover letter to gain employment.

Previously we would have to share our office computers and write out the CVs for the students with their input. Now we’re stepping up our careers week and changing the formula. We’ve put together a project on GlobalGiving that will have DAKTARI train them independently with 4 separate computers while the volunteers provide supplemental support if needed.

A special campaign called “Bonus Day” on the 12^th July where GlobalGiving match 50% of donations for 1 day!

This is a big day for us and we hope to find support through the community.

Some quick facts about DAKTARI?

• Over the past 3 months, we have educated nearly 100 local children.
• Since 2006, DAKTARI welcomed over 3500 children, impacting more than 12000 people in the community.
• We’ve had 15 volunteers within these 3 months from all over the world teaching at DAKTARI. (People from the United States all the way to Australia that believe in our mission).

Here’s to another 3 months of education; we aim to make South Africa a better place and we’re glad you’re with us!
