 QUESTION 8

 Read the extract and answer the questions that follow.

 Lion Sands Private Game Reserve

 Lion Sands, part of Sabi Sands located in the Kruger National Park, is one of a
 few hand-picked, Southern African safari lodges that are committed to the
 conservation of African wildlife, the environment and the development of local
 communities while offering authentic big game safari experiences. All of these
 safari lodges are linked to the organisation, Open Africa, and encourage visitors
 to practice responsible tourism.

 Lion Sands Game Reserve forms part of the largest conservation area in
 Southern Africa. In this area, the balance between nature and its use for
 commercial purposes requires that ecosystems are carefully monitored and
 managed.

 Lion Sands Private Game Reserve shares a relationship with the local community
 geared toward mutual benefit and social development that is sustainable and eco-
 friendly. One of the initiatives funded by Lion Sands is the Henna Pre-School that
 was founded in 1991 with 20 pupils. This met with the need for education and
 healthy meals for the local children.

 With further assistance from Lion Sands the pre-school has grown significantly
 and now accommodates 250 children. Some of the major projects thus far have
 been the construction of classrooms, renovation of the kitchen and setting up
 borehole water for the school. Lion Sands also hosts the annual graduation
 ceremony for the children, which encourages them to understand the importance
 of knowledge and education.

 Lion Sands has united with both the government and the community in the fight
 against HIV/Aids. The reserve provides support to its employees as well as to a
 local home based care initiative for HIV sufferers. Guests at Lion Sands are given
 an option to tour the local community and are encouraged to make a donation to
 this worthy cause. Lion Sands is also involved in the annual activities held on
 World Aids Day in which HIV orphans and other vulnerable children from the
 community are given food parcels and school necessities.
