My wife and two daughters volunteered in 2009 at Namibia's Naankuse wildlife sanctuary, 45kms west of the capital of Windhoek. Feeding cheetah, petting caracal cats, throwing meat over the fence to the largest lions you can imagine, or just walking around with a baboon on our heads was real exciting entertainment, and a time never to be forgotten.

Naankuse has also taken the task of providing basic education for their San children on board, largely through the efforts of Gill, an amazingly enthusiastic volunteer. Kay thoroughly enjoyed her time helping in the wee school, temporarily situated under a shelter at one end of the volunteer accommodation blocks.
Let's share in the opening of Naankuse's Clever Cubs School.

Jim, absolutely spectacular! You are involved in so many projects that help to provide to the needy. You should be proud of you and all the volunteer's accomplishments!
Thanks Bonnie. So Z is helping out down there?What is the project? Great stuff.
Hi Mary, was a very rewarding time and more so that we can follow progress via Youtube as they post up more videos of the kids going to that school and on to main schools in Windhoek.
How happy those kids must be, and loved the song :)

How exciting! I love the name of the school. :) And... I wish all kids everywhere were that excited about school! :)
This is really wonderful work that you have been doing Jim!
