β€œIt is true that there is a lovely road that runs from Ixopo into the hills.”

I went to the Buddhist retreat in Ixopo to escape fires in Howick; and there in the hills of Natal we awoke to snow.

The name Ixopo is onomatopoeic of the sound the cattle’s hooves make in the mud.

The sun sets behind a mountain range with full tree cover. The rock of a kopje can be seen in the foreground.

The magic of Mutorashanga from a Khoisan kopje. The rainy season brings with it a sigh of relief and rejuvenation. Evenings like this remind us of why we started and offer a glimpse of what is at stake.

Our mission is to restore the land that mining has affected and preserve landscapes.

It says I can’t DM you πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I live in Harare, Zimbabwe! Wow, thank you, that’s incredibly kind. Unfortunately our postal system is hopeless but I could try to find someone near you to bring it for me when they come home. I actually want to start a mobile eco library so this would be a great addition!
