The smiles say it all!
Category: Donations received | Date: Mar 08 2008 | By: admin
The Lion Guardians recently gathered for our monthly meeting. We had just finished discussing our meeting agenda when I announced to the Guardians the wonderful items that had been donated to us. They immediately put on the new rain coats donated by Patagonia, and began fiddling with the torches (flashlights) we bought with blog donation money, the camera from Lisa and the five mobile phones. Their big smiles and sparkling eyes said it all. 
Guardians from left to right: Lekina, Olubi, Ritei, and Masarie
Ritei’s smile is the perfect example of everyone’s happiness upon receiving the donated items.
Maria was the mother of the day by making sure that every “child” gets an equal opportunity. There were small torches and big ones, and everybody wanted the big ones. But she knew what to do. Maria gave each torch a name and then asked the Guardians, one after another, to pick a name from the list. This name corresponded to the torch they received. In the end, everyone was overjoyed with all the useful donations; their work, guarding the lions, will now be easier.
Here is Mama Maria fairly distributing the torches to the excited Guardians.

The Nation has a story today about how lions are in deep in trouble especially in the Masai Mara.

It was good to see all the smiling faces. I’m sorry they didn’t last long before the next tragedy. Keep up the good work and the Guardians will eventually win this battle.
