Agandi (hello) everyone

Apologies for the delay of my April news, I have returned from visiting my fury friends in Uganda...the mountain gorillas.

It’s been a long five months since I was last there, but enough time to prepare for the launch of my two new community projects.

B•I•G•G•A (Bwindi Gorilla Guides Association) is the second project which I am directly involved with. After months of hard work, we have our first DVD on Bwindi and its gorillas. This is sold in the new BIGGA shop in an effort to raise funds for this organization and patrons. Apart from the gorilla DVD, the shop will sell the elephant dung postcards which will be bought from the Ishasha community, completed by the BIGGA members!

We had a fantastic trip in March. Thank you to everyone who contributed soccer balls, clothing and the much appreciated donations. Funds raised are going towards the completion of the new curio shop at Ishasha. I promise to keep everyone up-dated with its progress.

Look out for my KENYAN MIGRATION special during PEAK period: 27th August - 1st September and 8th - 13th September 2008

Waleeba (Good bye)

Ishasha, located in the southern sector of the Queen Elizabeth National Park is truly one of Uganda’s best kept wildlife secrets. I decided to launch a community based elephant dung paper making project; to show the locals that they too can benefit from their nemesis and to make sure that they realize the value of visitors to the park. Although still in its infancy, I hope that with months to come, we will be supplying visitors with a selection of beautiful elephant dung cards and envelopes.
