Andrew Muir - Providing training and jobs to young people orphaned by Aids

South African conservationist Andrew Muir is harnessing the healing powers of nature to help young people orphaned by HIV/Aids become independent citizens.

"the vulnerability of these orphans has generally been 18 years in the making and will need something pretty intense and all-embracing to turn it around!"

Muirs Umzi Wethu programme provides vulnerable but motivated youths with vocational training and jobs in the burgeoning ecotourism industry, while immersing them in their countrys rich natural heritage.
