Suzanne's and Marty's Update:
Greetings Friends and family,
We have heard from many of you regarding the Ebola Outbreak. It is in the Congo and that is approximately 1700 miles from us. The illness spreads from bats to gorillas and chimpanzees. People in rural, poor areas in Northern and Western Africa sometimes resort to eating what is called bush meat. Bush meat can include gorillas and chimps. The specific bat variety does not live in this climatic region, but we do continue to watch as with global warming living areas of creatures have been known to change. So we are aware of this health issue and we are watching it. So far there is no threat to South Africa that we see.
We have been notified that a site has been found and we will be working with a child welfare type of agency. We may be taken to this site sometime this week.
