The present study examined the ‘Influence of Youth’s general perception towards use of sex appeal in advertisements on effectiveness of Advertisements using varying degree of intimacy between couple images as a tool for promotion’. General Linear Model MANOVA was applied and results indicate that perception influences the effectiveness of Advertisements at multivariate level. At univariate level the influence proved significant for Wild and Mild stimuli not for moderate appeal.

On Friday 29th September 2017 at Assembly, a group of P3 pupils joined Send A Cow Ambassador, Robert Stephens, in presenting how they are taking action as global citizens in support of four of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Our three Primary Three classes are again leading the whole school Harvest Appeal with their Class Teachers and DHT Ms Anstruther, which this year is in support of the Send a Cow charity.
Each child in P3 is producing hand drawn collection envelopes which will be distributed to each of our families. If all our families contribute £1 we will reach a goal of £640 and be able to gift a cow to a family in Africa. Primary Three pupils are taking on different young workforce lead roles for their appeal campaign, such as Communications, Publicity and Finance.
Send a Cow Ambassador, Robert Stephens, spoke with passion and eloquence to explain to the children how the charity works with families in Africa to provide training in not only animal husbandry but also in sanitation, irrigation and keyhole farming. He relayed the story of Jennifer whom he had visited in Uganda and saw first hand the huge difference the project had made to her life and that of her family. Jennifer was able not only to provide milk and vegetables for her own family, but could sell surplus at market to pay for tools, medicine and schooling. Perhaps most telling was Robert's final slide which showed that Jennifer had reached such a self-sufficient stage that she was able to purchase an ornamental vase, merely because she 'liked it.'
Primary Three invited everyone to help Make A Difference by supporting their appeal with donations in the envelopes and also contributing to their planned bake sale on Friday 13th October. We wish them great success in their endeavours and thank Robert for his gracious time supporting the children.

2. Animal News:
Richard, the new mongoose
Hello there, My name is
Richard aka ‘Nthatha’ and I am
the newest banded mongoose
at DAKTARI. I was all alone and
didn’t know what to do so I
found a house and thought I
should stay there. Little did I
know that the people living
there wouldn’t like me biting
them. Luckily they knew
DAKTARI and brought me to
this amazing place. It’s all very
new for me but I think I’ll be
making friends with the other
mongooses very soon.
3. Hello again, I’m Willy, the scrub Animal News:
hare that got saved by a former
student and raised at DAKTARI. Free Willy & Wild Storm
After 3 months at this amazing
place it was time for me to go
into the bush and be a ‘Free
Willy’!! Now I have all the room
I need to hop around and be
happy. Don’t tell anybody but I
like DAKTARI so much that I still
prefer being around camp.
Fly Fly.. Butterfly..
Spotted Eagle Owl fly!!
I’m Storm and yes I
can fly. I grew some
more feathers, learned
how to be
independent, and off I
went into the wild
4. Animal News:
Herbie’s new home.
Knorr Knorr… oh hello, didn’t
see you there. I’m getting
older now, almost 5 whole
months, so the people here
didn’t expect I was going to
be that big, haha Luckily
DAKTARI decided to build me
a new home, which is
awesome, much bigger and
leopard proof. Don’t really
like leopards. Twice a day I
walk with my friends to the
dam, where I take my daily
bath. People tell me I eat and
live like a pig, don’t
understand what is wrong
with that?
5. Animal News:
Shady at the vet
Iaaah iaaah… I’m Shady the
youngest donkey at DAKTARI.
A while ago my leg was
hurting so much because of a
wound that was very deep,
luckily the people of Daktari
brought me to this amazing
guy called Peter Rogers
(Provet Wildlife Services)
twice a month.
My leg is all better now I
still love hanging around with
my mum Sunny, but don’t tell
anyone.
6. Animal News:
R.I.P. Otts
Very sadly for the team here at Daktari,
our new mongoose Otts became ill and
passed away just after settling in.
Confounded by her death, we took her
to our wildlife vet Peter Rogers for an
autopsy. He discovered a previously
unknown chronic liver condition. We
miss her and her loving personality
greatly, only comforted by the fact that
she was happily eating grasshoppers
and cuddling with us in her last hours.

A Special thanks to:

Linda & her daughter Lisa Kysela had a fabulous safari at Wait A
Little (African Big Five Horse Safari) and while they were there
they heard all about DAKTARI. They really appreciated the work
we do here and decided to hold a fundraising raffle in the USA
with the prize being a pair of safari tickets sponsored by Wait a
Little. All the profits will be donated to DAKTARI.
Which of the other
lodges would like
to help us?
10. Sponsors
A special thanks to:
• Brigitte Bardot Foundation for sponsoring the extension of the
Leopard camp. Here is the achievement
• Panda Security donated our anti-virus programs for the year!
We would also like to thank every individual person who has
helped us, small or big, they are all important. Without your
support we could not keep our project going.
11. Tips for fundraising
We know it’s not always possible for you to donate to Daktari. However, there are many things you can do to help which does not cost much and
some are even free:
- contact us if you find an orphan or injured animal so we can take care of it. If can't be rehabilitated we will use it as an educational medium and
give it a second chance in life.
- Put envelopes or boxes for donations in your guest house or shop for any visitors you may have. We cannot assume that people will not donate
but just make it available if they want to. (Contact us to get the envelopes)
- If you know anybody in the corporate world who would be happy to donate to Daktari for tax or BEE purposes. Give us their details and we will
contact them. It's always better to be recommended by somebody they know.
- Share our social media with your friends and family. Our link to Facebook and Twitter. People like to hear stories about animals and children,
specially if it's suggested by you.
- Create an event to fundraise or connect us to special events (e.g.: golf day, book club)
- Sign up for a monthly debit order from your bank account. (This will be set up very shortly) Any donation as little as R 50 a month helps us
tremendously and it's heart warming to know you are with us.
- We are now listed as beneficiary of My School (supported by Woolworth and many other shops). Please sign up for this card and use it when
you buy in the linked shops. Follow this link to get your card and chose DAKTARI as a beneficiary. Encourage your friends to do the same.
- Give us the email addresses of your friends and guests so we can send them our newsletters.
- recommend our volunteer experience to your friends and family from overseas.
It's not all about money -although we always need it- but it's also about having you on our side appreciating the important work we are doing.

13. Would anyone like to sponsor a
Gazebo?
Hi Everybody!
We are looking at getting a
promotional gazebo to expose
Daktari in cities and communities,
creating awareness and fundraising.
The company we found could make
one at cost price for us for R 5500
which is still very expensive.
Does any of you know a company
who could offer better ? or
somebody who could sponsor it?
Email
In advance thank you for your help.
Ian and Michele
16. Eco-Club News By RisetteDe Haas
Daktari Outreach becomes Daktari YEP!
We have our eco-clubs and we guide, coach young
ambitious people who finished high school, but are not sure
about their next step in life. We thought outreach
programme was a bit too vague, so we changed the name
into YEP. YEP stands for Youth Empowerment Program.
Thanks to the help of Tim Marriot for designing this great
logo.
Grace got accepted to Southern Cross School.
She started her new school on the 9th of
January. She was extremely nervous on her first
day, but she survived. Within the first week she
made friends and now she never wants to
leave. Grace wanted to say thank you to
everybody who donated towards her cause and
supports her. Please click on the link for the
short thank you video of Grace.
17. Eco-Club News Kutullo did it!
As we told you in our last newsletter, Kutullo
had an interview at SA Wildlife college. He did
really well and was accepted as a student on a
fully paid bursary scheme by the college! As
Grace he was very nervous on his first day, after
three days he phoned me and told me he
absolutely loved it! Thank you to everybody
who supports him! We keep you posted on his
news.
Great gift from UK!
We can’t thank Mridula (Ex volunteer) enough
for donating a laptop to Mbhaxeni. His biggest
dream is to become an architect and now he
is well on his way Even though he is still in
high school, he is drawing houses by hand and
even sold a few already. The next step for him
was to start making his drawings on a
computer and now he finally can!! He was so
amazed and emotional, Thank You Mridula!

20. In loving memory of Bullet
Time has passed and we can’t forget our Bullet. We made an announcement of his death on
Facebook but it was too painful at this time to write about it in our newsletter. For the one who
didn’t get the news, Bullet left us before Christmas last year. It was just time for him to go and to
rest in peace. We miss him terribly. He is buried behind the house with his sister Topaze. We
have put little solar lamps on their graves so they are kind of always with us.
