The Trail Less Traveled

Starting a School + Nature Reserve in South Africa


Listen Later

Recorded in the thatch hut at the most southern tip of Africa, Mandela sits down with her grandmother's best friend to discuss how they saved the landscape and permanently protected the ecosystem and wildlife in the area. Adriaan Mocke build a school and opened it to all races during the years of apartheid in South Africa. He is now 93 years old and he continues to give back to this community, garden, work at his school and tend to his public library everyday. His life experiences and wisdom are carefully passed down through his talent for story telling and teaching.
