Dear Glenda (our WWF Mum)

Thank you for the amazing contribution and impact you have not only had on my career (and will continue to have) but on me, personally. It's going to be hard to think of WWF-SA without you, but know that you leave behind a legacy at the organisation and through all of us that passed through the incredible internship programme you established. I have not doubt that we will stay in touch, as I'm sure you will continue to follow the journeys of all the fledglings that have flown your "career development nest". Wishing you everything of the best and lots of love, Nikara xxx

Dear Glenda
Thank you so much for our time together at WWF. I have learnt so much from you from the lessons you shared in the ELP programme, our conversations on your network coaching and our work together on M&E and the strategy task team.

Your role in the organisation and belief in young individuals has launched many of our careers and we will never forget that.

Looking forward to crossing paths again.

Much love and gratitude !

Hey Glenda , I really hope you're doing well. It has been an amazing experience being immersed in all the warm company and joy of what your environmental leaders programme had to offer. I thoroughly enjoyed working and learning at an NGO and have taken those critical skills imparted by the programme onwards, to the bleeding edge of strategy at one of countries leading audit firms where we are bringing the message of climate ,biodiversity and togetherness to company's with potential to change the way we do business in the world. All the best for your future ventures , we know you are a force to be reckoned with . Much love and good vibes from Khalid 😎

You spearheaded the Environmental Leaders Programme. Being part of that programme introduced me to several opportunities I may have never imagined before, which led to a turning point in my career and consciousness.

Thank you so much for the opportunity, because as young people with all the potential we may have, it is when we are introduced to opportunities and platforms, that we stand a chance of translating our potential to fruition.

Thank you so much for that !!

I  wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
