Fundraising for Mara
Category: Life of a Vet | Date: Feb 20 2008 | By: admin
Apology for my prolonged silence. I have been quite busy with fund raising for Mara Conservancy since my return from Tanzania. We now got Will (former Wildlifedirect blogger) to do the Mara fundraising and he will be responsible for English and French speaking countries. My responsibility is with my own country, Japan. Besides from Wildlifedirect, I have my personal homepage written in Japanese since 2004. This site has average daily hits of 700 and readers have been wonderfully supportive in donation towards Mara. In addition, I started writing to weekly mail magazine called Japan Media Mail (owned by famous Japanese novelist and filmmaker Ryu Murakami and has 130,000 subscribers), helped Brian with interview article for newspaper -Japan Daily and several other magazine articles, etc. Anyway, in two weeks I managed to raise USD 13,190 for Mara Triangle!

Dana, take Asuka out for dinner but then make sure you have dessert at hers; for she can also bake the most amazing cakes.
