The Tshemba Foundation is a medical volunteer organization helping to support rural health care in Limpopo’s rural communities surrounding the Kruger National Park.  Medical volunteers from across the world give their time and skills to helping make a difference by strengthening local health care services and care opportunities.

It was a privilege to provide the Foundation staff with some external ideas and strategies on how they could better measure and communicate the impact of their activities.  I had the opportunity to join an outreach school day to capture image and video stories of the day.

After the day out, the volunteers support a well known street food stall for lunch before heading back to Tshemba’s  stunning volunteer accommodation in the Moditlo Private Game Reserve.
