Dear Supporters, 

Today I would like to share with you some wonderful news and updates about one of the most outstanding scholars that we have had join us on our scholarship program. 

Kutullo

Kutullo first came into contact with GVI South Africa way back when he was a schoolboy. Some of our GVI staff and volunteers were hosting environmental workshops in the school in Limpopo Province, South Africa where Kutullo was a student. Part of the workshops involved a competition and Kutullo was in the group of students who won. The prize was a trip to the Karongwe Game Reserve where GVI works to go on a game drive. Kutullo says that ever since that day his whole focus was on conservation and doing everything he could to get back there!

Kutullo says that ever since that day his whole focus was on conservation and doing everything he could to get back there and make a difference. 

After he finished school and attended college to learn a little more about conservation, we heard from Kutullo again and, as they say, the rest is history! We offered him a scholarship position for 6 months. He joined us as a field intern and he excelled and thrived. After that the team in Limpopo just couldn't let him go- he has been working for us at GVI Limpopo ever since. 

Recently we offered Kutullo the opportunity to fly down to Cape Town to visit our community project, and head office, here. The reason for this? Kutullo is going to be starting to lead our community work back in Limpopo! 

It was so wonderful to be able to finally meet Kutullo and see how far he has come. It is incredible to see the passion that he has and how he is fired up to make a real difference in his local community. (It was an extra bonus to get to show him around Cape Town and hear all about his first ever trip on an aeroplane!)

Thank you so much for helping us to make opportunities like this possible. You really have changed a life!

With Gratitude,
