A hope for his lifetime: “To do good things in my life.”
Most memorable experience at Camp Moremi: One night he heard something moving outside his room. He opened his door and found a hippo standing face-to-face with him, “just standing watching me. I go back and close (the door) very quick. I wonder when I can get out. I go back and dream of hippo coming in my room.”
Best thing about Camp Moremi: “Most of the animals are here.”
What makes Botswana special: “I think the people living in Botswana are most friendly. It’s a peaceful country and has good game that people like to come and see.”
