We`re very thankful for prayers and donations.The independent article is so good and really reflects the happenings here at the Mara Triangle. We`ll print acopy for the elders at Enkereri as we did the Reuters one. For your interest the lion population in the Triangle has since doubled from 40 to 80 individuals since 2001.
