Gonarezhou Transfrontier Park supports development of the Mozambican residents

The "Helping Africa" drive is organized by the Gonarezhou Transfrontier Park to support the improvement of the dismal conditions of the population living on its territory. The objective of the Helping Africa event is to support the communities living in the area of the border national park, the Gonarezhou Transfrontier Park, who live there in dismal conditions and thereby help their future development. The donations received in the first phase of the Helping Africa drive (concluded on May 25th, 2011) will be shipped at the start of June 2011 directly to Mozambique, Africa where the representatives of the Gonarezhou Transfrontier Park will pass them out into the hands of the responsible representatives of the local authorities and educational or healthcare facilities.
