"I was hoping to meet a group of people that accepted me and welcomed me. This exceeded my expectations because I met people who became like a family. This Programme in Krüger National Park was one of my most valuable and memorable experiences that provided me inspiration and a lifetime of memories and new friends because of all the different people from around the world that came together to help a cause for the greater good."

"I enjoyed everything here. The work, the cooking, the sundowners, the games we played in the evenings. We had such a cool group and so many nice experiences. It’s hard to choose one highlight because there are so many. I really liked the group feeling and being in nature the whole day. Every day was interesting because you never know what you will see today when you‘re going in to the park."
