]]> i cannot stress enough the importance of educating youth, specifically in african countries, where they have enormous untapped potential. courses in environmental education are just as important as health, language, science, and technology. from my time working with kids at a primary school in the greater kruger region of south africa, i could tell how enthusiastic they were to learn english from the international volunteers at the school reading club.

this wildlife children’s book is for the kids at a south african primary school for their reading club where they practiced their english. the book translates from english to their local language sepedi. i wanted to educate them on the wildlife essentially in their backyards, so they have a better appreciation. along with showing beautiful photos to foster a love for animals, i highlighted the threats these animals face to help encourage the next generation of conservationists. the use of both images and text show the beauty of the wildlife in need of protection.

a remarkable program called farmers of the future in the greater kruger region of south africa focuses on empowering unemployed youth with their own farm. the program webpage says,  “we believe in the principals of the saying, rather than giving a man a fish to eat, rather teach him how to fish so he can eat forever.”

"farmers of the future" program helps south africans learn to live sustainably while also teaching valuable life skills.

]]> african elephants are quickly disappearing from this planet solely because of humans. with one hundred elephants killed each day by poachers seeking ivory tusks, the situation is a crisis. this short documentary is a 360-degree interactive video of elephants in kruger national park, south africa. i want to give people a chance to learn about and experience elephants in an engaging way. i hope people who haven’t had a chance to see them in the wild will gain a sense of how these magnificent animals roam around in their natural habitat and play a vital part in the ecosystem people depend on. the documentary tone is both informational with remarkable facts about elephants, sad when describing the vanishing of elephants, and hopeful while highlighting specific ways to save them for future generations.
