SANCCOB: Waddle for a Cause

Stand with SANCCOB

WTM Africa, in partnership with Uthando Africa, commissioned an art teacher to conduct a full-day workshop with children from Portland Primary School. The project featured:

Art & Wildlife Education

  • SANCCOB joined the session to provide an educational lesson on penguins, discussing the dangers they face and deepening understanding through interaction with George, a Taxi Dermie Penguin.
  • Students received a painting lesson focusing on penguins.

Dual Learning Experience

  • The workshop combined wildlife conservation education with a creative art class, engaging young minds in both artistic expression and environmental awareness.

Fundraising & Awareness

  • The paintings created during the workshop will be auctioned to raise funds for African penguin conservation.
  • Post-WTM Africa Auction Event: Attendees can view the artwork, engage with SANCCOB’s conservation efforts, and contribute to protecting these vulnerable creatures.
  • WTM Africa Activation: SANCCOB will also have an activation at WTM Africa, allowing attendees to engage with the organization and the art firsthand.

Every bid helps save penguins
