Project Report | Jul 5, 2019
A Special Volunteer

By Deb Kelly | Director, Jifundishe

In the summer of 2014, our friends at Extraordinary Journeys contacted us about a family that was visiting the area and wanted to visit a project that was working with the local community. We were happy to host the Mathews family in October that year and spent the day with them on October 7th, grandparents, parents and children together beginning their African safari. They visited a local school, worked with our primary school children and had lunch with us while we talked about the projects that we had created and the needs that we had in delivering programming to the local community.

Fast forward five years to 2019, and Jessica, after years of staying connected to Jifundishe and donating to many of our efforts, contacted us as the owner of Dancing Zebra Safaris, hoping that her own clients, the Smith's, could come and visit us with their family as she had done years ago.

Kayla, celebrating her bat mitzvah with a service project that included working with our primary school students, created a project page on Global Giving's website to raise money for our projects. Kayla and her family spent a day at Jifundishe and made some amazing friends and started their dafari off with a wonderful experience working with the local community.

Organizations like ours rely on volunteers to help us, not only with our programs, but with spreading the word about our work. It's not too late to make a donation to Kayla's project page. Check out her page at .Kayla's Global Giving Page.
