Twenty Eco-Club members from Chelinda and Thazima Primary Schools in the Rumphi District in Malawi, attended the Annual Children in the Wilderness Camp at Chelinda.
The general theme for the camp was “We will manage a poacher-free generation”, and included lessons on natural resources and wildlife, waste management and recycling, planning for my future, and general sports activities. A few highlights from camp:
- Making earrings out of bottle tops and reused fabrics
- The ‘planning for my future’ session, where mentors involved in wildlife management, teaching, medical fraternity and tourism and guiding each had a station. The children rotated and had the chance to chat with the professionals.
Be sure to look out for the full report on this fun-filled, successful camp in our next Quarterly Community Newsletter (due out at the middle of October).
