Audley clients report for BBC Radio 4′s “Traveller’s Tree”
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town
Two of our clients, Mr and Mrs Reeves, were featured on Radio 4’s “Traveller’s Tree” programme this week after they were given sound recording equipment to take on their trip to Cape Town and asked to record some of their experiences.
This week’s episode was all about South Africa and features the Reeves on their Audley holiday where they visited Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town and learned about the work carried out by Uthando.
This non-profit organisation supports 25 grass roots community projects in the townships of Cape Town. This unique Responsible Tourism initiative introduces visitors to some of the innovative and inspirational ways in which these communities are handling the social problems that confront them. The projects they support range from the care of children and the elderly through to prisoner rehabilitation, urban agriculture and the development of the performing arts in the townships.
- You can listen to the episode on the BBC’s iPlayer (Mr and Mrs Reeves are on from about 11.50 mins to about 17.20 mins).
