Wild Beginnings: Na'anKuse Wildlife Sanctuary
The exchange kicked off with an unforgettable adventure on Tuesday, 31 March. Our visitors spent the day at the Na'anKuse Wildlife Sanctuary, where they had the rare opportunity to see Namibia’s "big cats" and carnivores up close. From the power of the lions and leopards to the speed of the cheetahs and the fascinating social dynamics of the wild dogs, it was an eye-opening introduction to our country’s conservation efforts.
A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Hosts
An exchange program is only as strong as its host families. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the families of:
Mika Cohen, Ingrid Pienaar, Endi Cui, Anika Haftani, Gabriella Mouton, Guilherme Costa, and Amelia Damon.
These families will be hosting our guests until mid-April, guiding them through local life and exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Namibia.
Teacher Exchange & Professional Growth
The spirit of collaboration extended to our staff as well! Over the last week, we were honored to host two exchange teachers from the Annie Wright School. A special thank you to Sinead Cloete and Kaye Van Rooi for being such gracious hosts to their colleagues. Sinead and Kaye have only just returned from their own exchange in Tacoma, making this a true full-circle experience.
Stay tuned! We will be sharing more highlights and photos from these incredible journeys very soon.

I loved this website to send cake to India through the internet. It's easy to order, have the cakes delivered on time, and makes your special occasions even more memorable.
