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.
Our recent Entrepreneurship Workshop took on a peer-mentorship approach, bringing together previously funded entrepreneurs, youth coaches, and young ECD teachers to learn with and from one another. These powerful knowledge exchanges often unlock learning in the most unexpected ways.

Meet Nobuntu, who has become an expert in hair weaves. Through careful business management, record-keeping, and marketing, she has quadrupled her income over the past 12 months.

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