Painted Dog Conservation UK has financed the transport for a 'Trip of a lifetime' for 26 orphaned children from Alpha Cottages Orphanage, Masvingo. Aided by three adults from the home, plus a teacher from Helen Mcgee Primary School, the 12 girls and 14 boys, during their stay will enjoy activities such as volley ball, learn basic computer skills, and a Safari to Hwange National Park.

PDC's Wilton Nsimango commented, "I wish to thank Painted Dog Conservation UK and its supporters for the wonderful experience given to these children, something they will never be forget".
