| Whoa!! What is Baobab and how does it relate to DfC? |
| Well - DfC (Drink for Charity) is the fund raising vehicle for Baobab, Baobab is a UK registered charity which supports conservation organizations in Southern Africa. Baobab focuses on grass root projects that don't receive regular funding and that are playing a vital role in conserving endangered species and key wild-land areas. All funds raised from DfC events are donated to Baobab. |
