...for a desert guiding course. NaDEET Centre once again hosted the Namibian Academy of Tourism and Hospitality (NATH) Desert Guiding course.  A total of 15 participants spent seven days learning from desert guiding veterans Peter Bridgeford and Steve Braine. Participants enjoyed learning about NaDEET and living a sustainable lifestyle for the week.

After a great week at NaDEET Centre, our team went to visit the schoolchildren and community in ||Khuta!hoas. For the past few years we have been hosting school groups and community members from this very remote village about 300 km south of NaDEET Centre thanks to the sponsorship of the ACS Cobham International School.

To celebrate Arbour Day we planted 30 trees at the school and at community members homes, conducted interviews with past participants and organised a clean up campaign at the school.

Small, but significant actions to get closer to a more sustainable lifestyle in Namibia's rural areas.
