African Bush Camps Foundation has hosted a series of inspiring community and school events across Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe to empower students through sports and education, raise community awareness on conservation, and generate funds for drought relief in our National Parks. Here are the highlights of our efforts.
CECT Sports Tournament in Chobe
The annual Chobe Enclave Conservation Trust (CECT) Sports Tournament, held in Chobe, Botswana, is a vibrant event that unites students from the five schools in the CECT region for a day of exciting sports activities. This year, on June 14th, 150 students participated in the netball and soccer tournaments at Parakarungu Primary School. Congratulations to Mabele and Satau Schools, crowned champions for 2024! Every participant received a sports kit, a medal, and a stationery pack. This tournament serves as an inspiration to the youth in Botswana, showcasing the power of sports and community.
We extend our gratitude to our sponsors – FNB Botswana, MRI, Bomaid, and Chobe Foods – for their generous support. We were thrilled to collaborate with Vuche Vuche Basket Weaving, a local project we proudly support, who also prepared and served meals for the guests and students.
Green Day in Maunga Village
The African Bush Camps Foundation also hosted Green Day on the 19th of June in Maunga Village to promote environmental stewardship and community empowerment. The event had two main objectives:
During Green Day, we engaged 600 learners and adults from the community, planted 200 new trees, collected litter, and donated additional garbage bins to the village.
Together, we are fostering a sustainable future for our heartlands. We remain committed to our mission and look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts to make a positive difference.
