Donation items received

The following donations have been received for the Lion Guardians:

One new camera and an “old” camera (I put “old” in quotes because to others it may seem older, but to me and the Lion Guardians, all the items are brand new) from Lisa

Two phones from Sharon

One new phone and five other phones from Mary

One new phone from Bob

The new camera which I have started using is just perfect. I can’t find the right words to express my excitement about the camera. It has clear images, portable size….. and all the other perfect words to express a wonderful new camera. Thanks so much, Lisa! The second camera will go to the Guardians. They will rotate it on a weekly basis which means a different Guardian will have it every week. This way each and every Guardian will get a chance to use the camera and take pictures of what they see during their work and in their daily lives. I will keep the new camera for times when I visit the Guardians, attend meetings, see the lions, or even just when Maria cooks something delicious here at camp, I can take a picture and share it with all of you.

Each Guardian is going to get one of the new phones since all of their phones are broken or not functioning correctly. I have not yet announced the good news to the Guardians. I will tell them at our end of the month meeting. They are going to be really excited!

Thanks so much, all of you, for the items you donated; it means a lot to us and helps us continue to do our work to save the lions of Maasailand.

Antony, this is just fantastic, big thanks to Lisa for the cameras and kudos to Sharon, Mary, and Bob for the phones. All these devices will make the guardians’ jobs easier and more enjoyable too. Antony, are you still in Nairobi? By the way, I think you should cook dinner for Maria, you owe her a favor!

Hi Antony,

I am so glad we are able to help.
I will continue to do what I can when I can. All of you have the most difficult job protecting the lions and teaching the communities about their importance. Keep up the fantastic work, and THANK YOU for doing it!

Hi Antony! Glad to hear the cameras have arrived. I think I am just as excited to have sent them, as you are to have received them. The “old” camera has been on lots of trips, hundreds of hikes, and taken tens of thousands of photos. It’s like an old friend and I’m happy it has ended up with the Guardians. I hope the Guardians get lots of use out of it before it finally dies. Many thanks to you - and all the Guardians - for the work you do!
