How did we Celebrate?
Category: Life in Mutsora, Meeting Elie..., My Rangers | Date: Jan 15 2008 | By: admin
My Rangers of the Advance Force and myself celebrated Christmas Day in Ishango, away from our families, because we are under training session with Mayor M’Poka.
We had a big meal, cooked a goat, and had a beer each!
Some words from M’Poka while waiting to be served.
That same 25th of December, MONUC officials from India came down to visit us.

I have already made a sponsorship. But I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your hard work. I want to be able to tell my children of the men who protect the gorillas. I did not know of all the hardship.
I will continue to sponsor. You have my deepest respect.

Thank you for your dedication and the sacrifices that you make, being away from your family during the holidays.

Y’all work really hard for the gorillas, for your country and for nature and we truly appreciate your sacrifices. I’d have let you have a second beer, too.

Elie, we appreciate all of your sacrifices and hard work. Just what does MONUC do in your area, are they supportive of your work? If MONUC forces catch a poacher, do they at least detain the poacher for you?!

Thank you for everything you do for the gorillas. You are all very brave, you are all my heroes. XXXX

Dear All, thank you for the support and messages. Thank you Gina. As for the MONUC, they cannot detain poachers, that is what happened with Vumulia and Mapendo. Because MONUC are peace keepers, it is for Congolese authorities to enforce the law.
