Koikai’s new son
Category: Lion Guardian reports, Meet the Lion Guardians | Date: Feb 11 2008 | By: admin
Today, as I was doing my rounds visiting the Guardians and collecting their weekly forms, Koikai (the Lion Guardian from Olbili) told me very exciting news. A few weeks ago, as you may know, Koikai and his wife had a new son. This was during the time after Sangale and Birdie were poisoned. Koikai especially felt the pain of the loss of these two lions as they spent a lot of their time in his area.
Koikai told me that in honor of his favorite lion, he has named his newborn son Sangale!
We are very proud to have another Sangale as part of the Lion Guardian program. Unfortunately I did not have a camera to take a picture of the new Sangale. Hopefully I will get a picture of him next week when I visit Olbili.
This is a picture of Koikai, his wife, and their firstborn daughter. This picture was taken one year ago.

My name is Antony Kasanga, Assistant Director of the Lion Guardians program.

Thanks everyone for your comments on little Sangale and Koikai’s family. I will definitely post a photo of the young Sangale.

Congratulations to Koikai and his family! This is wonderful news. And I love that he named his new son after Sangale. His son will now have an extra angel watching over him.
