Personal message
Greetings everyone! I am willing to give up my time, income and work hard for our Heritage for a day of physical exertion. The South African Honorary Rangers supported SANParks to the tune of 44 Million Rands in the form of skills, equipment, training and time in 2015. The Field Rangers, Section Rangers, Wildlife Vets, Special Rangers, Canine Colleagues, Helicopter Pilots and Environmental Crime Investigators all need our support. We need to raise funds to educate our adjacent communities, to create employment for and transfer skills to the next generation of Field Guides, Receptionists and Trails Rangers. This country needs heroes and leaders we can look up to, and those heroes are the people that wake up everyday to conserve your and my Heritage. I am still the same person I was before winning the Safari Guide of the Year Award, but have realized that as an ambassador for our industry, we can all make a difference! The East Rand Honorary Rangers are kindly delivering a bicycle for me to use. My work schedule as freelance guide will not allow much time for training, so sponsor me, whether I would finish or not, or simply donate any amount for a worthy cause where every cent is used to support SANParks. Tax Certificates can be issued by the Honorary Rangers to companies, willing to donate and that complies to the relevant tax laws. Get involved and make a difference!
