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!

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!
