St Andrew’s personnel treks mountain gorilla
St Andrews' Caterina Cannone went mountain-gorilla trekking in the Volcano National Parks in Rwanda.
St Andrew’s School for Girls’ head of marketing, admissions and heritage, Caterina Cannone, recently fulfilled a lifelong dream of mountain-gorilla trekking in the Volcano National Parks in Rwanda.
The school’s marketer Brandon Townsend said St Andrew’s does not only celebrate their learners’ goals and achievements but also the staff’s.
“We encourage our girls, as well as our staff, to set goals and dream big, to live with purpose and pursue their passion.
We enocurage them to stay true to our school’s values, which are aligned with our skilled for life philosophy.
“The exhilarating hike to track the magnificent primates on Mount Karisimbi, followed by the incredible encounters with the Igisha gorilla family, were nothing short of surreal,” he said.
Cannone’s love and passion for all living creatures was a driving force to visit the place which was beloved by one of her heroines, Dr Dian Fossey.
“The experiences and lessons learnt about Rwanda and their forgiving, gracious, and community-driven people have also left a lasting impression.
“We are always so thrilled to share stories of our staff who follow their dreams, and inspire our girls to do the same. Thank you, Caterina, for sharing yours,” added Townsend.
