Zimbabwe Wild Dogs

Hi folks,

I’ve been getting very worried recently about the state of the project funds because I simply haven’t had the time to do the fundraising required.  But fortunately we just received the transfer from Wildlife Direct of the money that has been donated through this blog recently, which will help to keep us going for a short while.  So thanks again a huge amount to everyone who has donated – it has really saved the day! 

Knowing the money was there has allowed us to buy things like the drugs that we really, really needed.  And of course to continue to keep Rueben’s baby daughter supplied with good quality powdered milk.  Extra, unspecified donations are put towards the most critical needs, currently Rueben and Misheck’s salaries, cos without them, this project aint going too far! 

I also want to use this post as an opportunity to thank Wildlife Direct for hosting our blog.  Aside from the opportunity for people to donate to the project, it’s great to be part of a team of dedicated conservationists from around the world – even if some of their blog sites make me very jealous…..! (Like the Lion Guardians, which incidentally is managed by a good friend of mine and is linked with the project I was involved with in Kenya before moving to Zim!).  Nonetheless, we can’t all be super-duper bloggers like them, but it’s good to at least know there are other people out there working just as crazy hours as I do, on just as crazy but important things! 

And moreover, the comments and support we recieve from you readers gives us a real boost.  Although I don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to this blog unfortunately, it’s still been a great way of making contact with some great people and I urge you all to keep reading, keep commenting and keep donating!

Thanks from all of us and of course from the wild dogs,

Rosemary
