"My favorite experience at CLZ was the game drive because I had a life time opportunity to see all the wild animals face to face which was so amazing watching them feeding, playing, taking care of the young, and how an elephant family tree is organised..." - Bwalya Siame, teacher at Zamtan

Earlier this month, a group of six teachers from our three sister schools in Zambia went on an adventure to the Lower Zambezi National Park! They joined with other teachers from the area, and the knowledgeable professionals at Conservation Lower Zambezi spent three days educating the group about environmental protection and conservation, with curriculum to take back to their schools.

In addition to learning the curriculum, our colleagues had the opportunity to go on a safari, a boat tour, and see wildlife in their native country first-hand. Agness, a teacher from Mapalo, shared this about her experience: “l saw an impala standing still l thought it was carved one because l am used to seeing carved ones and when it moved that's when l realized that l was seeing real animals - it was amazing.”

Now, they can share this important information with their fellow teachers and students at our schools! Martha, a teacher from Zamtan, shared, “I hope to implement what I learnt by educating pupils on the…importance of [the] ecosystem and also educate learners on how to care for the environment, conserve wildlife and appreciate nature…” This was a wonderful opportunity to make new connections and gain new information to share!
