My last few days on Sondela

It's been great, getting to learn what I have learned of everyone on the farm. From the lowest person working here to the big bosses of the farm and also to someone you will think that you can learn anythig from them. It's been great but it has come to that time that i have to leave and go out there to the big place and found myself. I will never forget this place and its people. Goodbye for now Sondela till we meet again

Road blocking and checking off poachers

What a day it was, learning about how to do road block. Knowing what you must do when doing things like that. The mane reason of doing road block and what you will do when the person sees that he or she is going to be arristed for doing the wrong. When they run away. In what possitions should you as the head range do in that kind of succucation. And if that person do not run away what you must say when they get to you. Explain why you have this road block and ask them if they cuold open the back of the car for you amd tell them that it's a proccess that you must do as range. After doing all that think them for there help and co operration. If you get to deal if one of those that are staben and don't whan to work with you, just be passent and just be friendly with them. Even if they say things that you will not like,just be friendly and don't react to thier attiduted.

Anti-poaching day

The day when Oom Diedrik come to tell us that we will be doing an anti-poaching course I thought oh no,what a long day it's going to be in the sun the whole morning and after lunch. When we got at the site where we were going to do the activites of anti-poaching. Oom Diedrik showed us all the different types of ways a person can stop poaching in the area or place they stey in.But it was fun and I have learned a lot of that.Some of the things we can use in the fucture not just in anti-poaching time just in general

LIMPOPO TOUR

In just a couple of day we will be going on a trip or tour of a live time.Not all of us are going just of some reasons.I believe that it's going to be a time that a person will nerver ever forget. Everyone is coming will, but those that are doing Nature consrevation andtourism guiding. Just imagine touring Limpopo in just four and a half days, camping, visiting all places that you have just dreamed about seeing. I just can't wait for this week to end. No work for that week that we are going on thae trip. Will tell you more after being on the trip self.But just picture it ,even if I hate camping I think I'm going to enjoy this trip

Our township tour

This weekend we were taken on a township tour, which was a great experience for someone like me. To be amongst great people and their place in which they live in. The centre in which the children come there after school for a descant meal and for someone to come and help them with their homework. Someone that loves you like his or her own child. The centre is a family, that was first run by a lady that those days. Today it’s run by the daughter and some of her grin-children. One of the children was ones a police women by was not happy with her work, things happen by nothing would change the feels. The other lady also ones worked so a social worker, helping homeless people and people that have problems with child, but she did not love her job. It felt like it was a culling. It was no long what she always what she wanted to do. She used to volunteer on weekends. The we went were the children did their cultural dance they did so beautifully, I have never seen such things in my live just in the old place were my mother used to live when she was my age. Things of culture are now gone, so t see that was an unforgettable moment. Something to always be triggered in a person’s life. The first houses that were first build and the first street to just say. WHAT A TIME IT WAS JUST TO BE AT SUCH A PLACE, WERE EVERYONE KNOWNS EACH OTHER

My trip to Marakele National Park

It was a trip that a person should not forget, not only that I enjoy myself, but I also learn something more about Limpopo and the park it's self. Not just that it was a one time experance of a person to be at a place full of history, not just historic but cultural.On the way to there we had to do some touring on Limpopo and also on some of the smoller place you could find in the place. Things that a person could have never had the chance of see happened. Things that if I wasn't studying here could have not have been of see happened.Ok when we got there , finaly we meetwith a Lady by the name Surah who give us a short briefing on the place and why they just have the history of the place from 1985 and not before that. We had the tour of the place on our own without a guide with us, did see any big 5 or should I say big 4 because they just have the big 4 of the big 5. Saw some birds that you'll not find here at Sondela. They say that this they anly get them there because they like that type of environment
