My Travel Story

by: Miranda Wynne Kelly Makepeace Start Date: Feb 8, 2014 - End Date: May 8, 2014
Just a year and a half ago in the registration office, in the first week of university, little did we know we would find a best friend for life!!!

Sharing in a love of animals, we have decided to make this summer the most exciting before we venture out into the wild world of finding a career.

We have decided to take ourselves off to South Africa, and volunteer on a project to protect and rehabilitate Africa’s big 5! We will be helping to protect and introduce back into the wild not only lions, tigers and cheetahs, but elephants and rhinos too. These amazing animals are on the verge of extinction and without people to help protect, rescue, rehabilitate, and introduce back into the wild, our children will only be able to read about them in books.

We will also be assisting in producing informational videos for the Reserve and helping them to advertise to other volunteers.

This truly is a trip of a lifetime for us, and we are hoping to raise enough funds for us to fulfill this dream. We are both working, but as students any help would be greatly appreciated.
