Luigi, the Squirrel Monkey
| October 2007 In September 2007, the "Girls on Top" from Australia left a donation, and are planning on visiting again this year between August and October. Thanks to help from Girls on Top, we were able to make new brochures and repair the jaguar cage (as Pedro marks his territory with his VERY strong urine every day, the wire gets "eaten away" and we had to change some pieces of wire mesh on the four sides of the cage and especially in his little cage,where he likes to hide from visitors or rest on the cement floor,when it's hot). Now they are thinking of helping us to increase our educational work and maybe support schools' visits to our farm, including prices and materials for contests about wildlfe, a butterfly's life cycle, conservation etc. Many schoolchildren in and around Iquitos don't have enough money even to take a boat to Pilpintuwasi, so if "Girls on Top" decide to pay for transport and entrence fee,we could reach even the pupils of extremely poor areas,who otherwise will never have a chance to come to us and learn about their enviroment. We have received a large donation from Roxie Walker again; she is the lady who financed the cage for Pedro Bello the Jaguar. And she just sent 5000U$ for Pedro Bello again at the end of 2007. Here everything and everybody is fine-although we'll have to do a dental operation on Zeck, the Saki monkey, within a few weeks. She has a bad infection, as the Brasilian vet, who came with Daryl from Dallas last weekend. discovered. Gudrun and Roblar |
