COMMUNITY
Over the past 25 years we have been seeing the growing need of our local community and its people. Our main focus is on the children of Pearston. These children grow up in the harshest of conditions and we as Sun Africa Safaris feels that we have a responsibility towards the town of Pearston and its children. Our projects started on a small scale with our local school and has been expanded to all parts of the community. Generous donations have been made by our hunting friends from all over the world. Our aim is to grow every year and we thank our hunting friend for all that they have done for our local community. May the great work continue.

SPLASH PARK
Sun Africa recently built a vibrant splash park for the children of Pearston, providing a joyful and much-needed escape from the intense African heat. This colorful, water-filled space has quickly become a favorite gathering spot, where children can cool off, play, and simply be kids. In a community where recreational facilities are limited, the splash park has brought not only relief from the sun but also laughter, excitement, and a renewed sense of community spirit.
UNIVERSITY BURSARY
Shane de Bruin, a bright student from Pearston, joined Gill College in 2020 and quickly stood out through his academic excellence and leadership. He became a respected figure among his peers and made a lasting impact at the school.
After passing his senior year, Shane enrolled at Eduvos in Cape Town to study Computer Science. He continues to show great promise, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for this determined young man.
Our project began simply when Annalie, a Grade 4 teacher at Pearston Primary, asked guests to bring basic supplies like crayons, pencils, paper, and hard candy to help support the school. Each year, donations have grown—recently including sports gear, gifts, high-end Dell laptops, a Canon printer, and more.
While progress has been made, basic supplies are still urgently needed. We continue to invite our guests to “Be a blessing as you have been blessed,” and their generosity never fails.
PEARSTON SCHOOL
CHRISTMAS PARTY
Our Hunters generously funded a Christmas party for 200 of the youngest children in Pearston, complete with a Christmas tree, plenty of food, and Father Christmas in his bright red suit handing out small gifts—each child receiving a doll or toy car wrapped in colorful paper. For many, it was the only gift they received that Christmas.
As support grew, we were able to host an even bigger celebration for over 600 children. Father Christmas led the festivities once again, filling the day with joy. It was a powerful reminder of the impact made when those who are blessed choose to share their blessings.
THANK YOU
Very generous donations to these projects have been made by our hunting friends from all over the world. Our aim is to cultivate and increase this generosity every year as there is so much still to be done. We thank our hunting friends for all that they have done for our local community and may the Blessings continue to flow.
