Wildlife Warrior Scholar’s Retreat 2016

Today we would like to share some wonderful insights of our Wildlife Warrior Scholars’ Retreat, held in August thanks to your generous donations.

Held at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, the 3-day event brought together 19 Wildlife Warrior Scholars for guided game drives, drama and conservation education classes, providing an exciting opportunity for the scholars to broaden their awareness on conservation issues.

Lead by a Kenyan drama teacher, the highlight of the retreat for the scholars was learning to develop performance and creative thinking skills and, by the end of the retreat, they put on a short play based on the Importance of Forests.
It was a fun few days for the scholars, filled with learning and new experiences, and they are all looking forward to next year’s retreat, which will include an element of fun team-building exercises as well as a focus on gender and culture.

Special thanks go to all our donors who sponsored this retreat! As well as Lewa Safari Camp and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy for their support – we could not have done this without you.

Firstly, on behalf of my family, I take this opportunity to thank and appreciate your effort of paying my school fees.  Secondly, the retreat that you cater for gives us an opportunity to interact with students from other parts of the country and helps us get exposed socially and academically.  I am looking forward to continue working with you again! – Hassan Abdi

Our bright scholars come from poor families and rely on people like you to give them the opportunity to go to school. Sharon, Fredy, Evalyn, Beatrice, Haron and Elosy still need help with funding for their school fees next year – click here to find out more about them and their individual funding needs, or feel free to write to us to find out more.
