This program admits children from vulnerable families who have no money to pay fees for better schools. The parents of these children are reformed poachers and farmers living on the edge of the national park who spend day/night guarding their crops against wildlife. We want to mobilize corn flour and beans on a regular basis with the goal of keeping these youngsters in school so they can learn about conservation and the monetary value of wildlife in terms of tourism versus abandoning their natural heritage and becoming poachers. The cost of 2.2 pounds of corn flour is $1.06 USD; 220 pounds is $106 USD. The cost of 2.2 pounds of beans is $1.33 USD; 220 pounds is $133 USD. There are currently 170 children enrolled down from 200 due to the extreme poverty of these families.
