schoolsthatrockWorld Rhino Day. Thandi the Rhino was an ispiration for Curro Sitari Highschool. Sitari Country Estate is an independent school bordering at Somerset West.
Thandi was the lone survivor of three rhinos. They were targeted by poachers on the night of 2nd March 2012. The rhinos at the Kariega Game Reserve, were the school’s inspiration for World Rhino Day. This day was on 22 September. Kariega Game Reserve is in the Eastern Province near Grahamstown.
Curro Sitari contacted Kariega and offered to assist them by generating funds for their Save the Rhino Foundation. To raise funds, they held a raffle for the parents and learners. The raffle involved selling tickets. The winner received a really cute rhino soft toy!
The Save the Rhino Foundation’s for World Rhino Day major goal is to raise enough money to maintain its Anti-Poaching Unit (APU) fully operating. The money will ensure that Thandi, her family, and the other rhinos at Kariega are safe.
This accomplishment would not have been achieved without the parents help.
At this time they were able to raise a significant sum of money. The money will be donated to the Rhino foundation for World Rhino Day
Last but not least, Kariega is so thankful for the initiative, and Curro Sitari is thrilled that they were able to help. Especially Thandi, her family, and the rest of the animals in Kariega Game Reserve will benefit by the donation.
