Thank you AFEW Giraffe Center
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Jul 11 2008 | By: admin
Today Paula collected my check for Ksh 60,000 (about $1,000) which was given to me by the AFEW (African Fund for Endangered Wildlife) Giraffe Center in Langata, Nairobi. The funds are to help pay the costs of our community scouts as well as some legal costs.
This post is to thank AFEW for believing in the Garissa Giraffe Sanctuary.
Here are some of the tenants of the Giraffe Center
The newest baby - only one year old already 10 feet tall!
Daisy 2 - at a strange angle
She is massive, 17 years old, her head is always in the sky!
This is one of the few places in Kenya where you can meet the animals close up. Based right on the edge of Nairobi the giraffe are free to come and go as they please! They attract hundreds of thousands of people each year, especially children - school kids go free and have the use of a wonderful education center.
Kenyans love giraffes which are the subject of wooden and metal art works

Credit to the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife. It’s wonderful to see active support and encouragement from one very well known Kenyan conservation initiative to another, much younger and far distant from the capital, but sharing common concerns for Kenyan wildlife and Giraffe in particular.
It doesn’t matter how many times I see Giraffe, I still can’t quite believe that something that bizarre and beautiful actually exists.
Wonderful pictures Paula, good to see you out and involved as usual.
It can’t be easy to get something new started, particularly when it’s a bit off the beaten track. Congratulations and best wishes to everyone in Nairobi and Garissa.
