Imake a Difference's Supporter Trip to South Africa 2014 - Day 10

DAY TEN:

The last day of our adventure we travelled to Thula Thula Reserve, where were introduced to the owner Francoise, Lawrence Anthony's late wife. Lawrence Anthony was an international conservationist and the writer of the book the Elephant Whisperer, another highly respected man in South Africa.

We visited this reserve to see the rhino orphanage that is under construction. From what we could see and what we were told, it sounds like this orphanage is going to be state of the art and a perfect place to protect orphaned rhino. They will get top quality care until they are fit and healthy to survive on their own in the wild. This is the first rhino orphanage being built from scratch and is something The Lawrence Anthony Earth Foundation can be very proud of. Imake a Difference will be raising funds to help this cause, so watch this space.

We then travelled back to our initial destination in Balito, were we could have a good night sleep before flying out the next day.

What an amazing trip! Such an experience to see rhino in the wild and see all of the projects that Imake a Difference supports in action. Everyone is doing a great job trying to fight this poaching problem. It's great to see how much Imake a Difference's support is really appreciated by all those in Africa. Our support is really making a difference!

I would like to say a big thank you to Peter, Hamish and Dawdy for this amazing opportunity and I now feel better equipped to really push our charity and do everything we can to help keep these precious rhino alive!
