Jonathan and Michael Chan with Chumani, one of the Grootbos guides! 

We recently received an email from Angela Au, who recently visited Grootbos with her family.  She wrote us an email to say that her sons were so inspired by our work that they have started fundraising in their school! 

Angela wrote:

'We stayed at Grootbos at the beginning of September.  Whilst there, we visited "Green Futures" and "Growing the Future".  Chumani was our guide and we really enjoyed his company.  Our children (aged 10 and 12) were so touched by the work of the Foundation that they are raising money at school for the Foundation this school term.  They had a sponsored spooky dressing up day last week and will be doing other activities in the next few weeks to raise more money.'

We want to thank Angela, Jonathan and Michael for their positive contribution to our projects!
