Colobus Trust

You may have noticed that we’re updating the blog more often now. We had a meeting with Wildlife direct about how to make a better, more readable blog, and we will try to keep it up. We are now going to make the blog a regular thing, and update it daily (hopefully). We’ve also created a youtube account and a flickr group so that we can put videos and photos on the blog and make it look more snazzy. Anyone can join the flickr group if you have a flickr account, at this address: http://www.flickr.com/groups/colobus/

We’ve also infiltrated facebook and created a facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5504808955), as well as adding our cause on the Causes application (http://apps.facebook.com/causes/view_cause/42642), so if you’re on facebook please do join us, spread the word and help support the Colobus Trust!

Meanwhile at the Trust, we are doing a lot of outreach around Diani: our annual fundraiser is coming up, the Kite-surfing competition which will happen at Forty Thieves Beach Bar on the 28th and 29th of December. We’ll have a merchandise table and lots of activities, including a tombola for which we are selling raffle tickets. We have managed to get quite a few prizes donated to us already, but are still contacting as many local businesses as we can and speaking to them about how great it would be if they could donate raffle prizes to us.

We’re also giving out letters to all Diani residents on behalf of the South Coast Resident’s Association, to let them know of a road clean-up which is happening this Saturday. We’re giving out cement bags and asking everyone to clean up the dirt in Diani and make litter history.
