Ever wonder what it is like to
live in Africa?
What about the animals?
What do kids do for fun in Africa?
Would you be interested in helping build a Nature & Cultural Center for your new friends in Africa?
Drawn by a spirit of adventure and concern for people and wildlife every where, Placer Nature Center has established a partnership with the National Heritage Conservation Commission of Zambia( NHCC) to improve education and environmental awareness for children in Zambia's beautiful Luangwa Valley.
We invite Placer County schools, churches, non-profits organizations, parent/teacher clubs, classrooms and families to join us in this exciting project.
Under the auspices of NHCC, we will raise funds for Chipembele* Wildlife Education Centre and the Mfuwe Heritage Center. We will also create friendships between Placer County, CA children and the children of Mfuwe and the Luangwa Valley, Zambia.
*Chipembele means rhinoceros!
