The children benefit from having a hands-on education supplement. Daktari works with the local schools by selecting a number of students, between the ages of 10 to 14 years old per week. Our educational programme has been built with the local teachers that we can supplement their work and help on the subjects where the pupils have the most difficulties. Having only a few children at a time we can really make a difference by giving them personal education and general skills of life to help them in their future. The orphaned animals benefit from having suitable care and accommodation. Many cases cause sadness, and not all survive. However, knowing that both volunteers and children did their best, and have given them at least a slim chance, makes it easier to bear. 
The local community benefits from their children being better educated. The environment benefits from more people caring and understanding it and its importance in our future. The nation benefits from having a progressive supplementary education facility, a different tourist attraction, extra job opportunities, and insight into future careers such as eco-tourism, hotel and catering etc. Daktari is unique in its concept. The international community benefits from being able to participate in a life enriching experience either as a volunteer or traveller. International organisations benefit by being able to show they care for under-privileged people and the environment by sponsoring groups or projects. |
