The organization is a NPO that create a true social and environmental impact in the community of Acornhoek, near the Kruger Park. Both social and environmental angles are aimed by the organization, as providing opportunities and education to the local community helps to minimise poaching of endangered species, and improve social conditions. Its already a established organization and activities to help out can be chosen by volunteers from farming, social enterprise, environmental and infant education
