If you read our E-letter, you know that CCF Namibia’s Senior Research Assistant, Matti Nghikembua, is visiting the U.S. for the second year. Here is a recent note we received from him:

Hi

I arrived safely here in California - San Jose. I met Vicki and Sharon, past Earthwarch volunteers with CCF in 2007. Yesterday I went to an early Earth Day event at the Westwind Barn with Barbara and Rob Dicely and had dinner afterwards.

At the Cincinnati Zoo, I gave a presentation to the 50 zoo staff, volunteers and a school group that showed up. I also went to visit a school in Bethel where I gave a presentation to 450 kids (ages 5 - 8). That was a lot of energy there given the short attention span, but i made it more interactive. Veronica, who is a teacher at the school, donated A LOT of art supplies which se will ship to CCF Namibia. My stay in Columbus was great and Patty Kuun was very useful.

Regards,

Matti
