<p style="background:white"><strong><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">I am very excited to announce that I will be participating in a wildlife photography and conservation education project as a volunteer in the Thanda Private Game Reserve on the North East Coast of South Africa starting May 27, 2012 and lasting for 4 weeks. As a volunteer my aim is to raise awareness and help preserve the African environment through conservation education, research, activities and wildlife photography. Some of my objectives will include collecting animal identification information and data, visiting local schools to deliver a workshop on the reason for and methods of conservation and actively taking photos of wildlife for contribution to a complete photo graphic database for educational purposes. My personal goal is to raise $8,095. This money will be used for program cost as well as flights and proper equipment. Approximately 70% of the program cost will be invested back into the project. Please consider a donation of $30, a dollar for each every day that I‘m striving to make a difference in South Africa. My goal can’t really be accomplished without your help. Each dollar you donate will help get me closer to my fundraising goal and closer to the ultimate goal, making a difference in the South African conservation efforts. Thanks for your support!
