For six and a half years we’ve been raising funds and dispersing them to people saving wildlife and found the PayPal donation option essential. I’ve spent most of the morning playing Ms. Claus.

A seven year old with questions about Africa interviews Margrit Harris with Nikela. Listen to the interview… “I have some questions about Africa.” Our seven year old granddaughter said as we were sitting around the farm table.

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…

Before making a donation be sure to consider these key factors to assure your money is helping how and where you want it to. Giving is a wonderful thing! It makes us feel good. Makes us feel like we’re doing something to help. When we give strategically our gift also makes a big difference. But how do we do that? There are so many causes reaching out for help.
