My Travel Story

by: Jade Wilkins Start Date: Apr 12, 2023 - End Date: Aug 11, 2023
Welcome to my page! My name is Jade and I am a 32 years old and will be starting a social work degree this September. I am reaching out to you today to ask for your support in funding my volunteer trip with IVHQ’s Wildlife Conservation project.

As you may know, many species of African animals are endangered or threatened due to poaching and other human-related activities. The critically endangered black rhino is particularly at risk, and its numbers have dwindled to dangerously low levels. The IVHQ Wildlife Conservation project is set at a conservation centre on a private game reserve that aims to protect the natural environment and the creatures that call it home, with a special focus on the black rhino.

As a Wildlife Conservation volunteer, I will have the unique opportunity to get hands-on experience with conservation activities and research projects. I will also be helping with the upkeep of the game reserve and monitoring the animals, including black rhinos, as part of regular game drives. Additionally, I will be working with members of the game reserve team and partner organizations to ensure that the conservation efforts are sustainable and impactful.

Your support will help cover the costs of my travel, accommodation, and participation in the program. Specifically, the funds will go towards the following expenses:

Airfare to and from Zimbabwe
Accommodation and meals during the program
Program fees and materials
Travel insurance

I am excited to embark on this journey and contribute to the protection of African wildlife. By supporting me, you will not only be helping me achieve my dream but also making a positive impact on the environment and the local community.

Thank you for considering my request, and any amount of donation is greatly appreciated.
