As reported earlier we recently sent funds for the student scholarships. In addition we included $510 for the ranger Christmas bonuses and $3000 to purchase fertilizer for the local communities. The rangers have a dangerous and physically demanding job for a meager $3/day. While $10 seems like a pittance to us it hopefully makeS their Christmas holidays a little better. WAG did not have money this year for fertilizer for the villages around the forest reserves so Elefence stepped up for this critical need. The planting season starts in December when the rains come. Without fertilizer the yields from the gardens will be much lower. The gardens represent a majority of the nutritional needs for families who already struggle to meet daily requirements.
