Kalksteenfontein School - Day Excursion 2011
Tribal Meetings has recognized their role as a company that not only helps to organize conferences and other events, but also as a socially responsible team.
Annually, Tribal Meetings and Rutgers University Camden organize a day excursion for the pupils from Kalksteenfontein School. We spoil the kids for a day, as we either take them up to Table Mountain or other sights in Cape Town they usual do not get to experience and enjoy.DR. Julie Ruth of Rutgers University Camden, past students and Tribal Meetings cover all expenses, such as transportation costs and coverage of all fees.Our common goal is to entertain the pupils and hope to share a great time.
We want to say thank you to all participants and donations that made this day come true. We were rewarded with smiles and
enjoyed the day excursion 2011.

Lambano - HIV Baby Sanctuary
Lambano Sanctuary was founded in 2001 by Melanie Prinsloo.Melanie identified a great need for a family-based home for HIV/AIDS babies in South Africa. In 2001 she visited all the children's homes in the Gauteng Province and found that most of them were for abandoned babies with the view of adoption, but when the babies test HIV positive, most of the existing homes were not equipped to keep the babies.
We as Tribalmeetings want to support the Sanctuary and dedicate not only our direct help, but also motivate you to think about how you could contribute in making
life a little bit richer for the children of the sanctuary.
