Mt Pleasant School Students Raising Money for Orphaned Rhinos

The students at Mt Pleasant School wanted to help the rhino in some way, so we thought fundraising for Thabo and Ntombi, two juvenile rhino at the Thula Thula Reserve would appeal to the students. The students have raised over $900 NZD doing raffles, cakes stalls and general fundraising. This is about R7,700 and Imake a Difference will top this up to R10,000 to support these rhino.

The wife of Anthony Lawrence the author of the famous book "The Elephant Whisperer" runs a reserve called Thula Thula (meaning piece and tranquility). She is currently in the process of building a rhino orphanage to home the increasing number of rhino orphaned by the poaching. Orphaned rhino, when they are mature, can be returned to the wild so providing a safe haven and support helps the rhino population in the future and helps the poor rhino through a traumatic time. http://www.thulathula.com

Thank you to those students at Mt Pleasant School for your support in helping save the rhino.
