Fiscal Flycatcher Babies Thrive
Our parting shot this week is of the fiscal flycatcher babies that were born a week ago in a nest just outside our office.
Last week, three young women began their workplace experience at Checkers in Whale Coast Mall! Opportunities like this are more than just temporary jobs with the right mentorship and life skills, seasonal work often becomes a stepping stone to permanent employment.

While they gain real-world experience, our 2025 Entrepreneur cohort is forging ahead on their business journeys. With respectful guidance and hands-on support, we’re helping these brave individuals turn ideas into impact.

From all of us at Grootbos Foundation, we wish you a fabulous weekend full of wild discoveries.
