This was our challenge, and we changed it completely…
Thank you to all our donors!
We have done it! No, actually we more than doubled it!
We raised R120 950 in 50 days!
Together we all made that difference and your funds were allocated to where we focus on: awareness and education (environmental education), protection, the orphans, the survivors and the research.
We donated to five different organisations:
Chipembere Rhino Foundation
Kariega Foundation
Rhino Pride Foundation
Rhino Repro
Saving the Survivors
Where it began on the 13th July 2019… my challenge, my reason, my dream…
I want to raise R50 000 in 50 days, starting today and counting down to my 50th birthday! I want my birthday to be of value for something that I am passionate about, I want to create for those that I love so dearly, our Rhinos.
Thandi, my promise to you was that I will stand up and do whatever I can to carry your message into the world. And today I promise you that I will raise these funds for you and your kind in the next 50 days.
My journey started in March 2012… with a very strong lady… a Rhino called Thandi…In her darkest hour she stood up, she started her fight and she inspired the world.
I followed her story, I searched every internet site, every news clip and every social media post and so my journey began.
Today, seven years later, we have the most incredible team of people involved in our cause called Dancing for Rhinos, we are growing stronger and more passionate and I have decided to embark on a personal journey, one of my dreams and here it is…
I want to raise R50 000 in 50 days, starting today and counting down to my 50th birthday! I want my birthday to be of value for something that I am passionate about, I want to create for those that I love so dearly, our Rhinos.
I will donate these funds to our beneficiaries who do such great work in the field and our focus is on:
Rhino orphans – milk and medicine
Rhino survivors – treatment
Protection
Awareness and education and creating a future
“Tanja, it is good to have a soft heart, but you need to get strong hands”… this is what he said to me, seven years ago… Dr William Fowlds and “think big”… so here I go, this is step one in “big”…
And here is my question to you… Will you help me with my challenge? I believe that together we can all be the change; we need to see.
Thandi, my promise to you was that I will stand up and do whatever I can to carry your message into the world. And today I promise you that I will raise these funds for you and your kind in the next 50 days.
