Humpback dolphins are extremely shy and never approach boats to bow ride like bottlenoses do?

The EWT would like to thank the following schools for their support, please click on the school name to read more:

•	Crawford Preschool
•	Auckland Park Prep School
•	Plettenberg Bay Primary School

Crawford Preschool (Rivonia, Johannesburg)

This Crawford Preschool kindly generated approximately R250.00 for the GBP when on their Spring Day the children paid R5.00 each to dress up as princesses and frogs.

Auckland Park Prep School

These Grade 5 Girls from Auckland Park Prep School raised R8 000 for the Endangered Wildlife Trust last year. The class of 25 girls raised the funds during first breaks only for two weeks, and could only sell within the school grounds - to their friends and teachers!

We would like to thank them for their valuable support.

Plettenberg Bay Primary School

Plettenberg Bay Primary raised R1 800.

Grandma’s recipe for toffee apples is a real hit.

The Riverine Rabbit
When the Grade 7’s at Plettenberg Bay Primary School started reading, “The Shadow of the Wild Hare” written by Marguerite Poland, Ms Evins explained to us that it is a book about the Riverine Rabbit, an endangered and very rarely spotted mammal. We read an article about the Riverine Rabbit Working Group in an Endangered Wildlife magazine and decided to raise money in order to support the working group.

We thought a cake sale would be a good way to raise funds and immediately set to work advertising in our local newsletter and distributing posters and brochures around the school. Finally, our big day arrived and the cake sale proved to be a huge success. We raised R1800, which was appreciated by the Endangered Wildlife Fund and have challenged the Grade 7’s to better our amount this year.
