Soli Deo Gloria children to DAKTARI

8 children were sponsored to come to spend a week at DAKTARI

DAKTARI Bush School & Wildlife Orphanage is a South African NPO that works to educate and inspire children to value their environment and stimulate community development. DAKTARI provides the perfect environment for underprivileged local children to learn about their natural heritage. The past week we´ve welcomed students from a different background and location than we usually do. The children come from Lydenburg, from the Soli Deo Gloria Care Center. 8 children were sponsored to come to spend the week at DAKTARI learning about environmental education and the local wildlife. These children do not have a typical familiar background, due to several different reasons. Soli Deo Gloria Care Centre for the traumatic wounded is a non-profit, interdenominational, opportunity Christian organization. To provide, educate and develop the homeless / disadvantaged & current residents at Soli Deo Gloria Care Centre. Following the weekly schedule, the volunteers taught the lessons and enjoyed play time with the students. However, this week was somehow special. The children shared with us several times how much they appreciated spending one week in the bush, surrounded by nature. The impact of spending one week at DAKTARI could be rapidly seen by our staff and their relatives. At DAKTARI we aim to impact as many people as possible. Our programs offer an immersive experience for the students to experience and learn about the bush and the careers it can offer. We work to inspire the next generation into becoming environmental ambassadors for their communities, so they can spread awareness about climate change, littering, and wildlife protection, while acting as role models and saving the planet.
