Welcome to our Rhino blog!

Stockholm International School Rhino Preservation Group

This group started in 2014 when our teacher Deidre Smith saw a message from a teacher in Botswana asking if anyone was interested in joining their Save the Rhino Project as part of the IB Diploma. Over the last year, we have gone round the school to tell other students about the plight of the rhino as well as participated in the Global March for rhinos and elephants last year. Recently we have sold rhino shaped biscuits to raise money to help protect the rhino through Project Rhino KZN. We are hoping to connect with other schools from all over the world to engage people in saving the rhinos.

The members of our group are:

Albandri:

I am involved in Rhino Group, because killing them it's not humane. I want to make a change in the killers minds and let them know that is not good to kill animals to get money. I hope that I leave imprints in this group.

Katie Jenkins:

I am involved in the SIS Rhino Group because I want to be able to educate other people on what we are doing to Rhinos and how we can stop this inhumane behavior. This Group has given me the opportunity to further my understanding on the mistreatment some people show towards Rhinos, and what a global issue this is. Without the Rhino the world would be at a loss.

Siska:

I am in the Rhino Group because of my love of animals. I think no animal should be killed for the use of humans. I want to help make sure that in my lifetime the Rhinos will not go extinct. Hope that with our little group we can make a little of a change to help the Rhinos survive.

Youssef Hamoud Alshammari:

I am involved in the Rhino group in the SIS school because I want to help the Rhinoceros

from the dangers of people and leave them to have a good life. and I want to do something to help the community. And I hope to leave an imprint on this group.

Deepti Sharma:

I am involved in the SIS Rhino Group Because I want to inform the people about how the rhinos are treated. This group has helped me widen my knowledge about how rhinos are treated and how it is becoming a global issue. I hope this group together can make a change to save the Rhinos.

Imran Hakim:
I am involved in the SIS rhino group because I want to be involved in changing people's mind towards that slaughter of these animals. I am from Asia and I know that people there believe that rhino horn is something special and I want them to realise that these are animals and should not be killed for their horns.
