Service Training can be Fun

Posted on Sun June 25, 2017.

While the builders are renovating…. the staff are doing training. Three Trees does most of their training in-house, but sometimes it is a lot of fun having an external set of eyes to help bring new ideas to the lodge. Thanks Sam for informative and fun few days!!

Exciting new development for Sakhile Centre of Learning Sat May 5, 2018

Sometimes in life, one just has to be patient. If you always give, you will always get. It always seems impossible until it’s done. These three statements above epitomise our journey at the learning centres… Two years ago, a Dutch couple visited Three Tree Hill during their South African holiday.
