The Ann
van Dyk Cheetah Centre has run an Education Outreach Programme since 2003. The
objective has been to visit disadvantaged communities with an Ambassador
Cheetah and to educate children and young adults about the need to take care of
Animals and the Environment. In
2010 CHEETA was registered as a Section 18A Non Profit Organisation and works
extensively in underprivileged communities. The
Programme consists of various talks at different levels, supported by
PowerPoint presentations, experiential learning exercises, and several learning
aids in the form of posters and work sheets. There is a workbook for teachers,
which encourages them to use the lessons learned as the basis of other learning
in the school curriculum - and also results in a more optimistic outlook
amongst the teachers. To date over 100 000
children have benefited from the programme.
CHEETA
offers a range of Educational Initiatives, and the focus is on programmes and
learning outcomes that are more sustainable for children in disadvantaged
communities.
The idea is to use
the Cheetah as a symbol of survival and sustainability and to teach young
people about overcoming challenges and being catalysts in their communities for
the preservation of natural resources and the improvement of their own lives.
