During the first week of November Paul Moleseng hosted a number of the children from Bana Ba Letsatsi on Ker & Downey Botswana’s popular Young Explorer programme.
Based at Shinde’s Footsteps camp the children, in groups of six, were put through their paces amongst the diverse animals of the concession. Fantastic sightings of lion and wild dogs combined with hands on practical camp skills such as learning how to make a fire and fire arm safety to make this an unforgettable experience. The ‘fun’ element was ever present with spotting competitions and sundowner football. At the end of camp all received caps, T-shirts and certificates to prove that they are true ‘Young Explorers’.
Bana Ba Letsatsi (which means ‘children of the sun’) cares for over 240 vulnerable and orphaned children in Maun. Their mission is to keep children at risk in Maun off the streets and away from negative influences by empowering them through education and support. The children are at risk because they suffer either a lack of parental care; have never been to or have dropped out of school, suffer abuse at home or in the neighbourhood or they abuse drugs and/or alcohol.
