One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One? I have more than one - white river rafting, bunji jumping, backpacking Malawi, sleep on small islands in the middle of the Mozambiqe coastline, do mokorro safari on the Zambezi, ride on elephants and walk with lions, colaring leopards and driving on the vast Makgadigadikpans, done a boat cruize on the meditaranian and visit the Blue Mountains of Australia

Teach, Learn, Share

how to live alike and to understand the poor and rural communities of Africa. I run a little community school for the underprivilage children - conserving mother earth start with the young. The closest government school from my area is 12km through thickets with daily elephant-human conflict and floodplains. Some children only go to school at the age of 10 and others just never
