Save the Serengeti

http://www.savetheserengeti.org/issues/stop-the-serengeti-highway/#axzz0xF35xqRC

In the fifties and sixties  Bernhard Grzimek and his son Michael, who died in a plane crash, made a movie and wrote a book about this amazing part of Tanzania. 


The Serengeti is again in danger and this time in danger to be cut in half by a high road. 
Please read the website and write to your politicians to put pressure on Tanzania to build the road to the south of this park.

Ayamonte animal shelter

This shelter is in the Spanish city of Ayamonte, on the border with Portugal.
Many volunteers work here and they are international. English, Dutch, Spanish and help feeding the animals, cleaning the cages, walking the dogs and cuddle the cats.


The sanctuary has contacts in Germany and Holland and when enough dogs are chosen for adoption, people drive these lucky dogs to their new homes.
I joined once this journey and it was an adventure to do so.
The long and winding road from Spain to Germany with lucky dogs to their happy new owners.
Watch the video I made of one of these journeys.

Going home

It was well worth it.
