Thanks to volunteer Monica a.k.a. Moo (and her car, lunches and ice-cream), 4 kids from Judah Square (Omega, Manuel, Benji and Naphitite) got to enjoy the Open Day at Knysna Elephant Park (KEP).

We started off by drinking coffee whilst the kids explored the play area. After … Read the full article…
