Enzo Van Vuuren’s quest to save the Rhino!

 

 

In 2011 Enzo Van Vuuren, at the age of 48, began a 6000km journey around South Africa as part of a fundraising and awareness campaign focused on the Youth of South Africa, as well as promoting healthy living and educating the country on the health benefits of clean water.

 

Van Vuuren, as a member of Heal The World, has now decided to dedicate the last 4000km of his journey to the cause of the Rhinoceros, an animal that has recently been under major threat from poaching and the illegal trade of horns.

 

 

Van Vurren’s Rhino Challenge began at the end of 2012 with the support of many organizations around the country, including The Little Logbook – makers of the popular GPS trip-logging device. 

 

The Little Logbook have created a unique device that is being used by Van Vuuren on his journey around the country that will contain the details of his distances and route as he makes his way around the country promoting his cause.

 

The Little Logbook, also dedicated to the plight of the Rhino, has teamed up with the Rhino Orphanage, situated at the Legend Golf and Safari Resort in the Limpopo Province, by introducing the ‘Rhino Promotional Code’.

 

Any purchase of a Little Logbook product from the company’s website entering the voucher code ‘Rhino’, will allow the Little Logbook to pledge R100 of the purchase to the Rhino Orphanage!

Little Logbook and the Rhino Orphanage

 

The Rhino Orphanage is the first specialist; dedicated non-commercial Centre to care for baby rhinos orphaned by the shocking trade in poached rhino horns. 

 

The orphanage will be housed on the renowned Legend Golf and Safari Resort in the Limpopo Province. The Rhino Orphanage was founded after a successful R4 million campaign funded by major organizations dedicated to fighting the impact of poaching of the species of Rhino around the world (more than 90% of which are found in South Africa).

 

The Little Logbook – the creators of one of the most popular GPS-based trip logging system – has teamed up with the Rhino Orphanage to raise money for the cause. 

 

The Little Logbook has introduced the Rhino Discount Code, a promotional code that can be used when purchasing their products from their website. Once the code is entered and the product is purchased, Little Logbook will donate R100 from the purchase to the Rhino Orphanage.

 

The Orphanage and its partners are dedicated to the fight against the poaching of Rhino and the illegal trade of horns. The orphanage, situated at the Wildlife and Cultural Centre in the Legend Golf and Safari Resort, currently cares for four orphaned Rhino calves that have been affected by the widespread poaching epidemic.
