The month of September is filled with many celebrations for Botswana. The team at Camp Okavango love taking part in celebrations and more importantly enjoy sharing these festivities with our guests in camp.
On the evening of the 29th all the staff at Camp Okavango and guest joined in on an observance of the month of prayer. Each year in Botswana, September is put aside for a month of prayer in which the country as a whole focuses on the prayer topic that has been chosen. This year the topic was “HIV and AIDS – Stop Aids and keep the promise”.
As a company Desert and Delta Safaris has taken a very positive stand on HIV and Aids and has implemented a staff wellness policy that does not only focus on those infected and affected by HIV and Aids but staff wellness as a whole. The month of prayer is a special month for us at Camp Okavango. A prayer committee was formed and they helped to organize and facilitate prayer meetings with the staff. For the month of September we also held weekly prayer meetings with the staff and during those times we focused on praying for those who have been infected by HIV and Aids but also those who have been affected by the disease.

On the night of the 29th the staff and guests took part in a candle lighting ceremony as a tribute to those who have been affected in any way by HIV and Aids and as a way to create awareness for this cause in that way trying to help stop Aids and to keep the promise.
