Despite challenges 2019 was a banner year helping people saving wildlife… thanks to donors like you. Every year is a surprise! A surprise as to who donates and to whom we donate to. As we personally meet with every Wildlife Hero we give to (except two this year) who gets how much is a rather fluid thing. The coolest thing is when we can hand deliver a donation.

During our last visit they created a dynamic Lego scene depicting Nikela and our mission, which Russ turned into a video of course. As probably most children would, they enjoy helping with videos the most. One of them loves to sit next to me while I’m putting…

Nikela is on a mission of helping people saving wildlife in Africa. “Your flight is cancelled!” Said the attendant as we stepped up to the check in counter. Not something you want to hear when this is the only daily flight from the Washington DC Dulles airport to Johannesburg South Africa. After 22 hours, of being rerouted to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, arriving too late in Johannesburg to be picked up by our friend Sheila Upton Bath with Dance to be Wild, spending the night in a hotel, catching the train the next morning, we finally make it to pick…
