FUNDRAISING DRIVE:
I was approached this afternoon to assist with the urgent relocation of 7 rhinos from a reserve that has already lost 7 rhinos in the recent past. 2 were shot this last weekend with one of them surviving with 3 bullet wounds in his head.
It is going to cost us R24 150.00 to do the relocation as the vet is doing the darting a relocation for us. This is an incredibly cheap price for relocating rhinos - basically cost of darting and petrol etc.
As you can imagine this is a matter of urgency so your assistance in helping us raise these funds asap will be greatly appreciated.
Obviously I cannot give more info about the location of these rhinos as they are already under enormous poaching risk.
Please help us raise these funds. I have already committed to assisting and paying.
Thanks xxx

The serious fund raisers ought to have an account to which foreigners can make transfers like PayPal. A bank transfer cost around R 300 and more. The world is getting smaller every day and it is time that Africa wakes up. Especially wanting a raise in tourism :yes:
