Our Running Costs
Category: Funds Needed | Date: Mar 28 2007 | By: admin
Here you can see me with Joseph Aloma in front of the vehicles we have for the Advance Force. We do actually have four vehicles but for now, due to lack of funds, only three of them work.
And it is only by a little bit of tinkering, a push start, plus the Grace of God, that the vehicles that we do have keep on going.
Recently I did a video presentation for the folks at Happy Hollow Zoo, who were kind enough to sponsor my work here, where I talked about the needs of the Advance Force.
Eventually we hope to have sponsorship for all of the 49 men who work for the Advance Force, and I’m pleased to say that Joseph Aloma is already fully sponsored by Stratton Elementary in Colorado.
Once more of our rangers are sponsored we will have funds not only to pay for their uniforms and patrol rations, but to help with the costs of running and maintaining our vehicles, and hopefully one day we may even be able to fix our forth vehicle!
Some of my men who are looking for sponsorship are listed down the right hand side of this blog, under ‘Sponsor My Rangers.’ Shortly I will also post up the video presentation that I did for Happy Hollow Zoo so that you can find out more about the work that we do here in Virunga National Park, Congo.

Congratulations to Joseph Aloma for being sponsored! I am so glad that the word is getting out quickly about the work that you are doing. I am sure that you will have many more sponsors soon! Best wishes to you all

Thank you Heather, and thank you for all the hard work you and everyone else at Happy Hollow Zoo have done for us.
It’s also great to see a photo of everyone -it brings us that much closer.
I too hope that we will have many more sponsors in the future.
