Anti Poaching Camp Update


Alpha Two have been working phenomenally hard in the national park in order to build an Anti Poaching Camp.







It is estimated that the complete construction will take 2 phases to complete. Each day the group work together along with local masons. The group have to transport the handmade bricks up the side of a rocky hill in "bandalis" - shallow buckets and they also assist in brick laying and mixing cement.


The group have been out on a couple of trips as a reward for their hard work and while they were waiting for the foundations to settle. They have been to Temples and waterfalls and recieved a special Diwali blessing.


A Field Base team of Sam, Pat and Manju 60/60 went along for a visit and brought along a much appreciated hair clippers!

  10. Hey there Emmi,
    Wow the photos look so cool. I hope that your having an awesome time, and using lots of sun block, unlike me :( as it hurts to sit on the Birkenhead buses' leather seats now, as my red legs just stick to them :(. But yeaya, that means summers on its way.
    Well I've got to go, work is just about to start :P
    I'll write back soon :)
    Ciao Bella
