The ladies at heartfelt have been asked by the Africa Foundation - through CC Africa - to create and design a safari themes felt board which 50 children within these rural communities can learn and play with. Designed on a green felt background (with beading around the edges & the Africa Foundation logo embroidered in one corner), the board comes complete with: a crocodile, a couple of hippos, a lion, an elephant, a giraffe, an owl, an ostrich, village people, a village scene, a conservation fence, a fire, a tree, grass, a dam, a sun, a safari vehicle and a lot of colour!

Africa Foundation and CC Africa lodges sponsor conservation lessons for students of all ages from neighbouring disadvantaged schools. Amazingly, most local school children have never been into their neighbouring conservation area and have never seen an elephant or a lion. Over the years, they have learned that this exposure is key to building relationships between rural people and their natural, wild neighbourhood. Many students report that their lives are changed when they realised what is on the other side of the game fence. Lessons are conducted by professional CC Africa rangers and trackers at CC Africa lodges and include game-drives, environmental talks and activities centred on various conservation issues. To date, 4 500 students have experienced conservation lessons from CC Africa's camps and lodges in African countries.
