This innovative program hosts orphaned and underprivileged children
at two of Wilderness Safari’s camps. Using environmental education,
therapeutic recreation and fun, Children in the Wilderness (CITW)
exposes children to new opportunities, builds their self-esteem, strengthens
their capabilities to cope with life's challenges and gives them the
life skills necessary to achieve success. Campers learn three skills
that can be used in village life: Respect, Teamwork, and Challenging
Yourself. In addition, campers learn about good governance and democracy,
nutrition, community natural resource management, HIV/AIDS and health,
and human rights. Staff from Wilderness Safari lodges and volunteers
from local orphan care centers serve as camp counselors providing
positive Malawian role models for the campers.
