Community and heritage: Acting for Rhino funds.

Acting for Rhinos brought in just over R35 000 in 2015. In 2014 it brought in R44 000. These funds were donated to Project Rhino KZN who used them to fund Thula Thulas’ Rhino Orphanage. 

This year we are aiming to get even more schools and theatre practitioners’ on board. We received very exciting news from Gisele Turner that Durban’s new iKOH! Puppet festival in February is being dedicated to Acting for Rhinos. 

Our Drama students have started rehearsals for another production of “Who Nose?’ which will be staged in Durban and then in Dublin in September. This show looks at the plight of Rhinos in KZN. 

We are also busy working on a 2017 calendar that features beautiful rhino artworks of our prep children. We plan to sell this to schools and at Game parks to raise funds. If anyone has contacts in the printing game, please contact Mrs van Elden.
