The Rotary Okavango quiz is BACK, and now that the rains are easing, we will be returning to Marc's Eatery.

We stand in solidarity with MAWS, which is doing a fantastic job tackling the rabies outbreak through animal vaccinations.

We have been asked to help with the humanitarian side of the crisis, so we are fundraising for human immunoglobulins that can help to save lives. 🙏 Please use this link to register your team: https://forms.gle/PjhwG3JH8ZPXmi7J6

Last week, we proudly graduated 58 young people from Tsholetsang Banana/Uplift the Youth’s nine-day course—the third and largest cohort to date. Two graduates, Botho Ramolelo and Innocent Sephiri, were selected to deliver speeches on behalf of the group.

Anja Barnard, Director of Lodge Builders Botswana (the project’s sponsor), addressed the graduates, along with Nthati Phoi, one of the project’s two coordinators. Rotary President Amy McBride presented each graduate with a certificate.
