Dear Friend,

You subscribed to email updates from Providing Outreach to Local Communities by DAKTARI Bush School & Wildlife Orphanage, a project on GlobalGiving. Here's the unedited update from the field: 

Throughout the year 2023, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to empowering communities through knowledge and education. Led by our dedicated Outreach Program manager, we've continued to make significant strides in our programs aimed at fostering environmental awareness and instilling conservation values among the youth.

Eco Club: Empowering Young Conservationists

The Eco Club stands as the cornerstone of our community engagement. Despite a temporary break during the past quarter due to school holidays, we are thrilled to announce the imminent recommencement of this vital initiative on January 22nd, 2024.

This program, conducted twice a week over a 6-week period, offers Grade 9 students an opportunity to deepen their environmental understanding. The commitment shown by the students throughout the teaching cycle has been commendable. Notably, during the reporting period, we collaborated with Leoma School welcoming 32 students and we expanded our reach to Lepono School, welcoming 42 students to our program, together with 20 students from Mahlaameme school.

The conclusion of the Eco Club sessions was marked by an inspiring end-of-class ceremony at Leoma School. Showing how the program nutured the student with a passion for conservation.

In parallel with the Eco Club activities, our efforts extended to a robust campaign centered on wildlife crime and poaching awareness. This course was designed to create personalized follow-ups, ensuring a lasting positive impact on the environment. By targeting a younger demographic, we aim to broaden our influence within the surrounding communities.

Conclusion

As we reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, we are immensely grateful for your unwavering support. The strides made in our educational initiatives and the enthusiastic participation of the students signify a promising path toward a more environmentally conscious future.

We eagerly anticipate the upcoming sessions of the Eco Club and the continued expansion of our outreach efforts, confident in the transformative power of knowledge and education.
