UA Teachers go "Wild" in South Africa

One of the joys of being in Africa is that nature is all around. Much good work is being done all over Africa to preserve habitats and natural environments for both people and animals. We had a wonderful time visiting the Lion Park in Johannesburg (all there are rescued animals) as well as Boulder Beach near Cape Town where there is a thriving penguin colony. At the Cape Town Botanical Gardens, we also attended an outdoor concert of the South African band Freshly Ground (you may know them as the Waka Waka singers of theme song from the 2010 World Cup)  and all of the proceeds from their concerts go to Rhino rescue organizations. We can only imagine how much our students would enjoy learning about these animals as well as seeing them in their natural habitats!
