I will be making a donation within the next few days through Pay Pal. It's been a while and I have been busy with work but I wanted to check in and let you all know that I am watching and reading and cheering you on. Thank you for all the updates.

It proves that communicating via a blog is actually fun and useful! If anything should be said: Ashley's work in the Lomami is very much new and exciting for us. There are many "firsts" in this mission: - first mission ever in an area that has maybe more wildlife than some parks - first time we use a BGAN (expensive but very useful) I also want to point out a reality that neither Ashley or Terese will tell you: they are extremely efficient with their money, despite the fact that these missions require lots of funds. Even with the smallest budget, their creativity will eventually get them to their goal. And this within a country that is known for complicated bureaucracy ($$$) and difficult access to many remote areas, the Lomami being way off the beaten path. What lies ahead: we are working on a map of the area with the teams findings. maybe a new design, we will see. Most important, we need to thank WildlifeDirect for making this platform available to us. They ask for no money and basically operate on volunteers that are in Congo. Very courageous staff, I say!
