π World Tourism Day Reflection
This yearβs theme, Tourism and Sustainable Transformation, could not have been more relevant to our journey.
On the 27th of September, while the world celebrated, our team was deep in Mababe, where connectivity is almost non-existent, but the connection to nature and culture is stronger than anywhere else. This is part of the reality communities face, and part of the story we are committed to telling.
πΈ The image shared here was taken in a safe distance from a hippo pool. My incredible team stood with courage and creativity, capturing moments that bring Botswana closer to the world. From wildlife to culture, our mission through 100 People, 100 Places: A Nation of Stories is to use digital storytelling to transform how we see and experience Botswana.
Today, we pause to appreciate the first storytellers, my team. Your bravery, commitment, and vision are the heartbeat of this journey. Through you, Botswana is brought closerβcloser to Mababe Zokotsama Community Development Trust, closer to its people, and closer to its wild beauty.
