It was an absolute pleasure to meet with you the weekend and I can only compliment all of you making us feel so special. Attached, please find payment advice for another donation – I trust that this will contribute a bit more to the sanctuary and we will meet soon.

| Thu 19 March 2009 13:47:36 - Diary by Mike Cooney Thank you seems inadequate Thank you seems very inadequate, but it's the best the English language has to offer. Catrell, Morgan, Zach, Harrison and I are extremely grateful for giving us the opportunity to stay at SanWild. Being able to experience SanWild as a family made it even more enjoyable, as our individual and collective memories will last a lifetime. Helping to move the lions will forever be one of the highlights of our lives, guaranteed. We will return in the future either individually, as a couple, perhaps as a family or with new families that will develop in the years to come — only time will tell. Regardless, I know future visits will be as memorable as our first time. I will continue posting more blogs and making people aware of the great work you do. Please let me know if there is anything specific you would like me to write about and/or do for you as we continue our travels. Please say hi to Andre for us. Unfortunately we did not see him before we left. Again, thank you! SanWild and the wonderful people we met will always have a special place in our hearts. |
| Tue 10 March 2009 15:41:55 - Diary by Mike Cooney Cooney World Adventure Greetings from the African Bush, We arrived at SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary on Friday. Out of all of our travels (including Central and South America), this has been the most amazing experience to date. Although the pictures help tell the story, they do not do the Sanctuary, the animals or the dedicated people justice. Please take a few minutes to read some of the most recent postings at www.cooneyworldadventure.com ,especially the blog about the lions and SanWild's efforts to save them. Stay tuned for more updates. We will post as often as we can. All the best, Mike "Travel is the ultimate education." |
| Mon 23 February 2009 12:21:39 - Diary by Angie Howard Fearless Mike and the bats We have had some really big storms which woke everyone up, they seem to go on for hours, we lost all electric a couple of times. Andre did a great job in tracking the elephants the first time we went, you could hear the crashing and breaking of branches before you could see them. It was awesome to watch these huge animals cross in front of the car; it certainly gets the heart pumping very fast. Since that sighting the elephants have been hiding very well or maybe on vacation! We drove right up on the mountain and the views were out of this world. We have spotted many large insects, which we have all had great fun with taking pics. Andre took us to the mines yesterday, which everyone really enjoyed including Mike who really hates birds and this mine was full of bats but he beat his fear and came out a new man, fearless Mike! We’ve also seen the rhinos and got to meet Boytjie the young rhino along with his good friend the bush pig. It has been lovely to relax around camp and enjoy the pool, the kids have all had a great time, it’s nearly time for us to leave now and we’re all going to miss SanWild like mad. We had the pleasure of spending our time with Yolandie whom is a great person and also an excellent cook, we will miss her very much and we have decided to adopt Yolandie. Thanks Louise and Andre for such a great time, we’ll be back! |
