This is Twana, a park warden ("ranger") at Mantegna Cultural Village. I had the good fortunate to meet her this week, and we are going to work on a project together to create a guide to birds in the park. She loves birds, and can identify them by their call. Swazis have lots of a great ideas -- but very little resources. For example, Twana does not own a camera or any kind of videorecorder. Part of my job is to help identify resources, and so it turns out that the museum has a camera she can use -- because Mantegna is one of the five sites oversee by the Swaziland National Trust (as is the museum).
She is a great gal and lives with her mother and son in one of the park houses. Twana also loves the "Big Five," which she saw while training in Kruger National Park in South Africa.
JOURNAL ASSIGNMENT: Find out what the BIG FIVE are in eastern and southern Africa and draw a picture of each.
