Out with the old, in with the new!

Winner of the week!

Hello friends!

We are happy to share with you that we successfully completed our project and raised over $40,000 to provide Environmental Education for the children who come to DAKTARI! After a very succesful campaign, we believe it is time to close this project. We have shared many of the stories which have risen from the impact that we have made in the children and the community, and we hope that you feel as important as you have been for our success!

This does not mean our work is over!

We have decided to start a new campaign to completely revamp our project on the fundraising platform to accurately reflect the situation and needs of our project in order to continue making a difference now and in the future. We have updated the impact which each donation will make in order to give you, our donors and supporters, a more accurate and up-to-date view of how your donations are directly put into the project.

We hope for an equally successful campaign for our project 'Educate African children to save their Environment'! Through your support we will continue to provide an educational program for these children in order to inspire them to not only take care of their environment, but also to pursue careers which will make an impact on conservation.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for all of your support throughout this project. Your small gesture makes a world of a difference for us and, more importantly, for the children!

Best Regards and until next time!

Getting close to the end!

Hello All!

We would like to let you know how your contribution to our project is making a difference for the children that we welcome at our camp! Over the last couple of months we have shared the DAKTARI experience with a large number of children, and we continually strive to give them the best education possible.

For instance, we received a group of children from a nearby school who were so eager to learn that they asked to stay another week with us! This was not the first time this happened and, of course, we would have loved to have them because they were such a great group! However, it is very important for us to allow all children to come learn about the environment and wildlife at DAKTARI, so, sadly, we could not let them stay. It would not be fair to the other children!

More closely related to the impact we aim to make, earlier this month we received a call from a farmer from a nearby village who had a procupine destroying his crops. Instead of taking the easy way out and killing the animal, he heard that he could call us to take care of the animal and take it to our property, where it was released in the wild. Although a small gesture, it reflects that the local community is being affected by our project as a certain conscience has been raised about the importance of respecting animals and wildlife.

This impact is possible because of help from people like YOU! We hope that you are aware that we think of you often and we are tremendously grateful for your selflessness and your help!

Also, we are getting very close to completing this project, so help us complete it so we can start a new one!

Thank you again for your immeasurable help!

Best Regards,

Manuel Camino
