By Lionel de Lange | Project Leader and Director of LAEO Ukraine.
Firstly I want to THANK all our donors to date. We really appreciate your support and a special THANKS to Carol Mitchell who has pushed this project very hard and mard a substantial donation from her group.
WE are however still very far from meeting out target and getting them to their forever homes at LLA in South Africa.
Update re the lions, Diya is being treated for something related to Gallstones. The vet is not very concerned and she is getting daily medication in the form of tablets.
AS you may be aware, we moved Diya and Frieda to our holding facility in Sambir, West Ukraine where they will be joined by Luke and Demira as soon as possible. Diya and Frieda are loving their new enclosure and they are able to play outside on the grassand the even have a small fir tree both of which they are ripping up.
Other than the news above nothing has changed much and its just a waiting game as to when they can leave. When we have the necessary funds or sponsors we will be on our way.
GLOBAL GIVING Bonus Day is coming up on Thursday, June 20. GlobalGiving will release $20,000 in proportional matching funds and two $1,000 bonus prizes so we need as many donations on that day as possible PLEASE.
I have seen how the lions are all enjoying their new spaces, enrichment and in Lukes case who nearly died of starvation, his food. LETS BRING THEM HOME......
