On the 12th of August, our 2022 International Volunteer, Jake, took us to Game Haven! We picked up our kids at Jacaranda school at 2:00 and went straight to the animal viewing reserve. We were kindly met by the staff who offered their adventure playground as a waiting area for Bahasi. We went on 3 separate half an hour game drives and managed to see some awesome animals. The main highlights were zebra, giraffe, wilder beast, nyala, impala and guineafowl. Having spent lots of time either playing in the plaground or on the game drive, everyone was hungry; so before we set off home to Bahasi, we had a lovely Braii at Game Haven.
We extended our drive for donations for the new hostel in the Malawian newspaper and have todate some success but still far to go. In the meantime we have started some of the work, like taking down the old building, getting sand and such. We and the community are working together, thank you!
We are also experiencing an enormous rise in cost for school transportation (up 50%) and food, so your help is most appreciated. See our needs!
