Rhino Girl Donates Winnings To Fight Poaching

SANParks Communications

Afeefah Patel (8) got the nations attention when she wrote a letter to president Jacob Zuma to “stop the bad people from killing our beautiful rhino”. With the assistance of her sister, little Afeefah addressed her letter to Zuma with one simple request: to aid in the fight against rhino poaching. Little did she know that her request would receive a response from the president himself. Afeefah was honoured with the corporate contribution to conservation award at the recent South African National Parks (SANParks) kudu awards where she also received a cash prize of R20 000. To show her commitment to this plight, Afeefah donated R5 000 towards the Unitrans VW Unite against Rhino Poaching Trust, “to help my rhino”.
