Project Report | Aug 7, 2024
Young dance Ambassadors learning about nature

By Janet Cuthbertson | Project Leader

Our young Zulu dancers are encouraged to learn about how to protect the wild as they live on the outskirts of the World- renowned big 5 Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park best known for its protection of rhino. One of the challenges that the wild endure is that they are not protected if they move out of the park into the rural area. Sharing information and helping our young team better understand how to live side by side with the wild and how to have compassion for their domestic animals and pets is important.

During the past number of lessons, they have been fascinated to learn that:

  • It is important to protect vultures as they help to keep areas clean.
  • That leopard are endangered and need to be left to return to the Reserve should they be seen.
  • And why it is important to protect rhino.
  • They have also enjoyed lessons about caring for livestock such as donkeys and their Nguni dogs. We have helped them understand that their female dogs can be spayed without cost through our State Vet department and that medications are available to help treat their dogs for scorbutic mange.  

The young dancers enjoy showing what they have learnt by sketching the most delightful drawings of the subject taught. During the afternoon they also have dance coaching and a meal that they share with any friends who come to watch them and often ask to join in the activities.

Your support that helps them with meals and to advance their skills is always greatly appreciated and the team says

"NIGYABONGA! "    (thank you very much!)
