High School South Africa Wildlife Awareness

As team leader for my youth group I had aims and objectives for the young people. The experience they gave had has not only met the objectives set but exceeded them. These young people have gained skills and experience that will equip them to continue to make a difference at home or where ever the choose to go. I am very proud of each and everyone and would recommend GVI to others planning a informal educational volunteering trip for young people.

It was the best, most important time of my life so far. I was constantly learning and growing. I knew I would fall in love with the country; and doing what I love, studying the wildlife and spending time with the local people, reassured me that this is what I want to do the rest of my life. I plan on coming back to do an intership with GVI in African Wildlife Conservation in Limpopo.

I loved every minute I worked with the GVI everyone I had any sort of encounter with was so welcoming. Jess and Fanchon were the best leaders ever there optimism was contagious and although we spent more nights without electricity that with they had us well prepared and it added to the experience.
