My name is Claire Coulson, I am the Director of CERCOPAN and have worked for the organisation since January 2007. I spend my time between Calabar HQ and Rhoko our bush site.
After several bleak and worrying days, both in terms of finances and the health of three of the monkey I care for, I woke up today to find that not only are Ikom and Okon almost better, but that in addition, 15 wildlife direct readers had pledged their support to our appeals….. donating a whopping $597!!
A huge thank you to Robin C, Linda H, Cynthia G, Tonia W, P L, Andrew H, Camille L, Meghan H, Michelle P, Victor S, Laura F, Isabel M, Carol B, Kathy S and Paula G. I also heard on Twitter that some wonderful young girls in Orlando have been raising funds for Eve and so far have made $75! Well done!
It really means a lot that so many of you believe in the work we do. If any of you are holding fundraising events and have pictures or stories I would really love to hear from you so that we can share them with others on the blog and with all of our staff and volunteers.
Thanks again!

I hope Ikom and Okon continue to improve. Please keep us informed about the rent situation. Brenton.
They are doing sooooo well today. Thanks Brenton. Am almost tempted to put them back in their groups but just want to be doubly sure. Will definitely keep you updated on rent situation….will tryto do post later if monkeys dont pull me away from the computer
