With only a suitcase each and a couple hundred dollars, Galante and his family returned to California to the small town of Cayucos, and later Santa Barbara. They were forcefully evicted from their home in the middle of the night and fled the country of Zimbabwe. In 2001, Galante’s world was turned upside down when terrible political turmoil in Zimbabwe caused their farm to be seized. At age 14, Galante was the youngest person to ever lead an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River. Galante was enthralled by all wildlife and knew he would one day pursue a career with animals. As one of Africa’s first female safari guides and bush pilots, Galante’s mother took her children to explore some of the most remote parts of Africa, collecting artifacts and observing wildlife. When he wasn’t enjoying life on the farm, his mother would take him and his sister on safari in the African bush. As a child, Galante’s favorite pastimes included catching snakes, fishing in the dam, breeding guinea pigs and playing rugby. He grew up on a productive farm that cultivated luxury alstroemeria flowers, various fruits and was home to a myriad of livestock and wild African animals. _ SOLD OUT FIELD TRIP SCHOOL SHOWS 1 & 2 Wednesday, Octo| 9:30am & 11:15am Dolly Hand Cultural Arts Center, 1977 SW College Drive, Belle Glade, FL 33430 FREE ADMISSION To attend, please contact Vera Valerio at or (561) 993-1161 _ SOLD OUT FIELD TRIP SCHOOL SHOW 3 Friday, Octo| 10:30am The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts 701 Okeechobee Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 īIOGRAPHY Forrest Galante was born on March 31st, 1988 in California, but within the first few months of his life moved to Harare, Zimbabwe.
