Christmas Present Volunteering
We volunteered again this year with providing low income families with presents for their children for Christmas. This year we volunteered with Good in the Hood. It was the first year that Jia took families around on her own. We were so proud of the girls!

A Parrot Birthday!
So grateful to the awesome folks at MAARS parrot sanctuary for the
surprise birthday party tonight for Willa! Two kinds of pizza and a New
York fruit tart from Cafe Latte! Volunteering on Tuesday nights at MAARS
is her favorite activity and she could not do it with a better group of
people!

Uganda: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest Gorillas
Looking for a magical place that has the loveliest people and the
coolest animals? Visit Uganda! Go to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to
see the mountain gorillas. Your tourism money helps protect the
endangered gorillas, brings jobs to locals (if you are a very good local
tea picker, you can make $2/day, but if you are a porter for a gorilla
tracker you can make $15-$40/day), better roads, better schools, a
hospital, and more to a very impoverished area. You will track and visit
a gorilla family; our gorilla family had 14 members. Actually, the
magnificent gorillas will come down from the trees and visit you!
A yawn!
