Providing Outreach to Local Communities

First of all, we hope that you and your family are keeping well during this crisis, and our thoughts go out to those who have been impacted by the virus in any way.

Despite Eco Club and Campaigning being on hold due to this crisis, we are still moving forward with our Outreach program in different ways:

• Lesson content: We are currently making sure that we are up to date with the latest guidelines to follow regarding human-wildlife conflict. We are also looking at ways to make the lessons more engaging whilst learning from the students and make sure that their voices are heard. 

• Educational vritual games: We are currently looking for ways to keep in touch with our learners during the lockdown. We found a virtual game where the students would be in charge of a nature reserve and would have to do everything in their power to keep their animals safe from poachers. This is great game as it tackles the whole management of a reserve and would make them feel responsible for the animals. 

• Checking on students: we have been in contact with our students in order to see how they are doing during these uncertain times. We found out that they are taking the lockdown very seriously but they are all looking forward for schools to re-open!

• Giving food parcels: We are also going out to the villages to deliver some food parcels to the people that need it the most. We are not encouraging any gathering of people which is why we are the ones going from house to house delivering the goods while keeping our distances with people. This is very important for us as are here to help support our community facing some very challenging times.

We cannot wait for better times and to resume with the Eco Club and Outreach campainging as soon as possible!

Stay safe.
