Kapande’s surgery
Category: Donations received, Lion Guardian reports | Date: Mar 18 2008 | By: admin
Kapande is now out of danger. He was taken to the theatre (operating room) yesterday at 3:30pm and came out at 6:15am. I am going to visit him this morning and see how he has been for the night. Then I will head back to Mbirikani. Thanks to everyone for all your support and prayers. I’ve told Kapande about all the people out in the world who were sending their prayers. It made him very happy.

I also want to sincerely thank several people for donating to the blog over the past month:
John D 20 Monthly Donation for Lion Guardians
Hashi H 10 Monthly Donation for Lion Guardians
Peter P E 30
THERESA S 25 for help with Uniforms, solar battery chargers, Rain coats
THANK YOU! We couldn’t do this without you. During tough times, knowing we have support from WildlifeDirect and especially from all of you, makes the Guardians and I work harder even through times of sickness and killing.

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

This is wonderful news. What a blessing you were there for him, Antony. I’m sending a little bit for Kapende’s sponsorship. I hope he is comfortable and heals quickly.

Ah…You are so old….Almost half my age! Happy Birthday Antony!! Tell Kapende I sent that photo of him with the CATs book to my friend here in Arizona, USA who is involved with jaguar conservation. He loved it!

Well Antony, I’m old enough to be your mother. And yet you are so wise. We are all hoping Kapende is coming along ok and taking it easy. My small donation today is for him, in honor of his work, protecting the lions. Perhaps he can use it for medicines or food, whatever would help him.
