Serengeti Lion Conservation Program - Tanzania - Every trip to the Serengeti we leave a healthy deposit for Meggan Craft! She has fixed a much needed Land Rover and purchased at least 2 collars for their amazing work. Meggan always has time to talk to us which we thoroughly enjoy - even if we are inhaling our lunch while listening (well we got caught up watching cheetahs on a kill last time)!
Kadjiado Girls School - Kenya - Again, every trip to Kenya we visit this wonderful school. NETT guests have brought everything from books, toothbrushes, school supplies and clothes. Some have personally donated large amounts (you know who you are and thank you!) as have various Rotary Clubs spearheaded by their members. We are very proud of your contributions and know the girls have and continue to - benefit - Asante Sana!
Cheetah Conservation Fund - Kenya and Namibia - A favorite of Carol's! She speaks at schools and Seniors Homes in the Calgary and Vancouver area and they say thank you by contributing to CCF which helps cheetah conservation.
Daphne Sheldrick's Elephant Orphanage - Nairobi, Kenya - A special place! Every group going to Kenya stops there and are treated to a visit with the babies . . . AND Daphne - lucky us! There is a flurry of adoptions and t-shirt purchases - all going to the little gaffers that need our help.
Diane Fossey Gorilla Fund - Rwanda - Nature Encounters Tours & Travel is keen to support Gorilla Conservation right at the source. Our donations have helped the trackers and rangers protect this endangered primate.
Tikki Trust - Zimbabwe - A new find! We all know Zimbabwe is having a rough time so to help with conservation projects is very special. We found Tikki Hywood Trust - an amazing woman who is trying to keep some precious species alive and well - check it out - www.tikkihywoodtrust.com
The Friends of Glapagos - Another endangered space with amazing species. We love our talks from the interpreters and they are always so grateful to get the much needed financial help.
Schools and Villages in Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda - Everywhere we go - we visit schools and villages. NETT groups always come prepared with school supplies for all the kids and they are very appreciative! Good work guys! Thank you as well to the wonderful schools from Canada that have sent gifts and supplies to the families in these developing countries. |
