Our very own DLG employees volunteered to help Operation Starfish with their annual Std 5 Trip to Gaborone over the 24th, 25th and 26th of June. The purpose of this annual trip is to expose the children in the village to alternative professions and experiences and in so doing, emphasise the potential value of education to their lives. Our Hospitality coordinator Limani, our driver Modise, our photographer Deepali spent the weekend cooking, delivering, serving and photographing the events that the 66 students experienced over the weekend. DLG would like to share their strive to do good for others and show our pride and appreciation.
