jOIN US IN THE oLLI #JOINTCUSTODY SCHOOL RHINO CHALLENGE
We invite schools nationally and internationally to join together and collaborate in
supporting initiatives to protect and rehabilitate rhino calves orphaned by poaching.
Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary is in need of our support and together in partnership
we will be raising funds for them through this #JointCustody challenge.
We also want to encourage our children to be conservation minded and bold action takers never underestimating
the difference they can make - in this case, contributing to our natural heritage and conservation landscape!
We ask for two outcomes:
Material generated by your pupils to populate your page on OLLI’s website – artwork / creative writing / etc
A donation for Rhino Initiatives raised through the children’s efforts to support the challenge to
move from “caring to doing” and physically make a difference to sustaining rhino.
Let’s teach our children that together we will make a difference!
"We are the first generation to know we are destroying our planet
and the last one that can do anything about it."
Tanya Steele - WWF UK Chief Executive
There are many ways to be involved and we welcome the opportunity to
chat further to your school in this regard or send through the relevant information.
Contact Nikki Bolton to find out more or to get involved: nikki@oneland.co.za
GET INVOLVED AND MOVE FROM CARING TO DOING!
Extinction cannot be our legacy!

“In the end, we will conserve only what we love;
