We arrived after a shocking 24 hour journey - all shattered!!
Yesterday we went on Safari which was fantastic! We were looking out for the 'big five' alll day and we saw Rhino's (black and white) and Elephant as well as Zebra, Giraffe, Wilderbeast, Impala, Babboons and much more! It was fantastic to be able to see them so close up and we were surprised at how Huge Rhino's are!!
Today we're in the school which is very different from home life! And are looking forward to more exciting adverntures in the week!
From 2011 Knutsford High School will be running an exchange programme with Empangeni High School in South Africa. This blog will be a place for us to share our adventures, through the planning and execution of this exchange. Check back for updates on our fundraising activities, photos and trip updates!

FINALLY....
Finally the time we have all been waiting for has arrived! We are virtually packed and ready to go!
We have had a fabulous Itinary sent over from Empangeni High school and we are all so excited!
Thanks so much to Barbara Poole and co. (Rhiannon's nana) for knitting so many beautiful vests and teddys for the children in the Orphanage; we cant wait to give them to the children and were positive they'll be very grateful!
Stay tuned on our blog for updates whilst were away!

Primary Competition
Our latest fundraising inititive was orgainsing a poetry/art competition for the local schools. We wanted a way of linking the children of Knutsford with the chilren of Durban. The competition wasnt so successful as there wasnt as much participation as we'd have hoped, however, the entries we had were fantastic and we have Selected one amazing winner from St Vincents Catholic Primary School- Well done!! The winning entry (pictured Below) will be hung on the walls in the orpganage!
