Cheetah Conservation Botswana Event

On May 10th I carried out my third event for WCN, this time raising money to conserve and protect the cheetah population in Botswana. This was a huge event, over 100 people, and we raised about $30,000 for the cheetah! Many of the donors at this event were first timers so they don't really write the big checks like we saw at the more established Painted Dog event, but hopefully WCN made some lasting connections and future donations from the new people will come rolling in with lots of zeros tacked on to the end! In the picture below, I am presiding over the pre-event meeting with the volunteers. The man with his hands clasped together is Charles Knowles, WCN's fearless leader.
