Brigitta, one of our most active supporters and commentors from Switzerland, had a birthday in December. And instead of getting presents her friends and family made donations totaling $800, that went toward Gorilla Protection. Thanks Brigitta - to you and your friends and family. Brigitta also sent fantastic photos of the Mapuwa family, who she visited in July 2007. This gorilla family was last seen mid-September, amid all the fighting.

Awesome! I’ve asked my friends to make contributions to Mapendo’s care and housing. I wish I had as many friends as Brigitta! Thanks for posting her pics of the Mapuwa family - I can only hope they’ve run far from the fighting. s.

Dear Sheryl. When I look all the posts in the Gorilla protection blog I have the feeling to have friends all over the world. Men and gorillas

Wonderful story and pics and it makes me so sad we cannot get post and know they are OK - so glad you had a wonderful birthday and that you love the gorillas so much!

Hi Brigitta. I was checking out your Web site and you’ve added a lot of stuff. It looks great! You never know, maybe some day we’ll have a WD meetup in Congo. s.

Brigitta, your photos are so poignant, I pray they are all safe…I’m not good at the waiting game. I’m thinking of little Mapendo, so relieved she is safe, but I know she has a long road ahead of her…
