A member here had put out a GOFUNDME appeal for the continuation of anti-poaching in my project area. Remember we are one of the few who are self-policed and have little Government support.



There appears to be a 75- 80% donation from AR members and that is extremely generous.

You all met the mark of the $7,500 requested and Royal Kafue spent just under $4000 on building an anti-poaching car from an accident damaged low mileage Hilux and some Cruiser parts I had lying around. This car is constantly on night patrol and has proven success.



To continue until the end of this year I have applied for a further grant from DSC just to pay for salaries. Whatever and we will win this year by hook or by crook as us English say.

I have had two AR members (military) volunteer their services free of charge to the project and we are currently entertaining their status in Zambia.

Therefore the response from AR has been incredible during these difficult times.

What was very interesting is that we managed to push some anti-hunters over the fence who recognized the importance of responsible and sustainable safari hunting and they contributed $2,400 to the poor and needy.

All expenditures are transparent and accounted for.

Thank you all.

All I can say is keep up the good work. Hopefully better days will be here soon.

Great news Buzz:
