Student Phones:
We have bought two student phones, which will be shared freely by all students. The students can use these phone to call home or you can reach them as well.

Small update:
Nastasha and Margaret joined the group yesterday before we drove down to Ghanzi. Base camp was already set up and everyone have paired up in comportable tents. The last two students, Maggie and Jessica, are arriving in Maun today and will travel down to join the group tomorrow. Today, we are getting familiar with our camp, safely rules, and taking a walk to get a small introduction to the areas vegetation, soils, birds, and might even get lucky and spot an antilope or two.

More to come soon!!
