Father Christmas really lives on Mount Kenya

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

This year it was to be different – that gift of real, lasting value for your special someone. After all, Christmas is the season of giving…

A mere few days away from prominently displaying your find under the Christmas tree it becomes painfully clear that you’ve left it too late again – or did Father Time play tricks on you?

Suddenly, on what was supposed to be an idle weekend, you are faced with the familiar dilemma: another CD but which one did you buy last year? …a box of chocolates then but would someone else revert to the same emergency purchase?

Or, wait, how about a lasting gift of life…..to show you care, make a difference in the lives of our countless orhan animals waiting to be returned to their ancestral home: The African bush.

Here’s how it works:
