Congratulations to our 2009 winners!

Four talented young photographers have gained a fascinating insight into the work of international wildlife charity, The Born Free Foundation, on the trip of a lifetime to the Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa.

The pupils were joint first prizewinners in the OKI Tools for Schools wildlife photography competition, run in conjunction with Born Free.

During their three-day trip, the children went on safari and learnt about the work of The Foundation - in particular, how it helps to prevent individual animal suffering, protect threatened species and keep wildlife in the wild.

The children also visited Moreson School, a nearby African school, met the pupils and found out about their daily lives. On behalf of OKI, they donated a high-performance OKI C710 printer, which is now in active use in the school's IT room.

OKI marketing manager, Andrew Hall says, "in an environment where budgets are tight and access to the latest technology limited, the OKI printer is proving an invaluable asset."

The OKI Tools for Schools competition has proved a great success, capturing the imagination of pupils around the country. The winning pupils, each also won a high-performance OKI C5000 Series printer for their schools were Alexandra Hall from Belvedere Academy, Liverpool; Ruth Williams, from Botwnnog School, Pwllheli in Wales; Kirsty Brewis from George Heriot's School, Edinburgh, Scotland and Joseph Turner from Hele's School, Plymouth.
