In November 2007 Foundation staff Carolyn Lefebvre led a group of 9 volunteers to Gulu, Uganda to work with the children of the Pece Community Nursery School. Volunteers Kathy Carson, Tyler Carson, Lynn Demers, Erin Ekman, Jewell Franssen-Tingley, Janel Hartwell, Jayson Krause, Gail Lefebvre and Kathy Reinboldt took 62 children from the school on three-day wildlife education trips.

For most of the children this was the first time they had left Gulu district, let alone see hippos and giraffes! It was a great learning experience for the children, their teachers, and the volunteers.

Thanks to Glen Buchwald for his donation for the children to participate in this program. The Foundation hopes to make this trip an annual event.
