Thanks to Dr. K.S. Rekhi from Diani Beach Hospital, The Colobus Trust received a generous donation today of much needed supplies for our veterinary clinic. These medications and supplies were vital in order to keep the clinic up and running and to treat all of those difficult cases we encounter on a daily basis.

Chairman Raymond Matiba, and board member Luciana Parazzi were there to collect the donated supplies from Dr. Rekhi at the Diani Hospital today and the packet was delivered to the clinic where John and Rona (Colobus Trust animal welfare workers) happily received them.

Your generous donations allow us to save more animals, treat them and release them back to the wild.

Thank you again Diani Beach Hospital and Dr. Rekhi!

The Colobus team

I am writing on behalf of all at The Colobus Trust to thank all at Lantana - Galu Beach for their generous donation of KSh 100,000 toward The Colobus Trust. This is a very welcome gift for us all and will go a long way toward helping us continue our good work!

Lantana is a recently opened local development comprising of 48 holiday homes made up of eco-friendly houses, bungalows and villas. The cheque was handed over to The Colobus Trust on Friday the 13th of February at The Colobus Trust’s office in Diani, 5km north of this exclusive development. Below is a picture of Colobus Trust Chairman Mr Raymond Matiba receiving the cheque from Mr Hamish Govani, one of Lantana’s Directors. Stood beside them is Mr Onesmus Macharia, the General Manager of the Trust.

Sadly it is still generous donations like this that are keep us afloat but we hope this great start to a partnership between both our companies will trigger other organisations in Diani to take the same step. This donation will go a considerable towards funding our core projects and covering running cost for this month. We are still struggling to cover these monthly costs in the wake of the effects that post election violence and the credit crunch have had on us.

For more on the goings on at The Colobus Trust please await our next blog on our newest guest!

Thank you once again Lantana!
