In an unprecedented show of support for the cause of the rhino, pupils from nine schools in and around Grahamstown gathered on their playing fields on Friday to form 'human rhinos', while the Grahamstown Flying Club saw to it that photographer David Stott got to capture them all on camera.

Local schools Kingswood College, St Andrew's College, Diocesan School for Girls, St Andrew's Preparatory School, Victoria Girls' High School, Victoria Primary School, Graeme College, Oatlands Preparatory School, Hoerskool PJ Olivier, Kenton Primary and Shaw Park were joined by schools as far afield as Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and East London.

After forming their combined rhino with St Andrew's College and DSG, St Andrew's Prep handed over a cheque for R22 956 to Alan Weyer, representing the Kariega Foundation Trust. The funds were raised at the school during the past two terms. The display of unity by thousands of children from 20 schools was part of the Rooting-for Rhino School Challenge for World Rhino Month.

"Our mission is to unite children against rhino-poaching, create awareness of our rhinos' plight and raise funds to protect our rhino, support survivor rehabilitation and conservation education," said organiser Jo Wilmot.

The Rooting-for-Rhino School Challenge chosen beneficiaries are Chipembere Rhino Foundation, Protrack Anti-Poaching Unit, Wilderness Foundation and Bongi’s Quest. Find out more on Facebook: Rooting-for-Rhino-School-Route-Challenge or email Jo on jo@root72.co.za
