On Saturday, Good Work Foundation took part in the Sabi Sand Trail Run, hosted by the Sabi Sand Pfunanani Trust, Sabi Sand Nature Reserve and its partners, to support communities and conservation across the landscapes bordering the Greater Kruger.
We have been part of organising this event since its inception. Many of the lodges and partners within the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve are also partners of Good Work Foundation, supporting and funding the training and learning that power our programmes.
This year, our Hospitality Academy students ran the event coffee bar, giving them a real opportunity to experience life inside a working enterprise: serving guests, making coffee and working through a busy, high pressure event. It was hands on learning that complements the skills training they already receive in our Hospitality Academy, and a meaningful way to connect what happens in the classroom with what it takes to run a small business.
The start tunnel for the race was set up right beside our Huntington Digital Learning Campus, placing our work at the heart of the day.
We were also honoured to receive the Herd Leader Award for assembling the largest team at this year's event, a reflection of how many people across our community showed up to take part.
Thank you to the Sabi Sand Pfunanani Trust, Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, our partners and every runner who joined us. Events like this show what is possible when communities, conservation and education work side by side.
