Dear All,
Last week, I remembered you about the money you sent end of April/early May for the purchase of the welding machine.
The bank has called us saying your money finally arrived. But, when Franck went to buy the machine, bad news: no welding machine was left. Here, it’s always like this: once you see something very particular in a shop, you have to buy it at once !! So, JACK has immediately ordered a new one that will come midth /end of July. But, don’t worry, once again, I’ll keep you posted and send you the pictures of the machine.
Also, in addition to your single donations of May, we received your one-time donations of the previous months and wanted to show you what we did with this money.
We had no gate at the entrance of the Refuge Centre. Visitors very often managed to enter the complex, reached too easily the quarantine area putting the isolated chimpanzee babies at risk (quarantine place is close to the main entrance of the Refuge!!!) Therefore, we decided to put a gate to prevent anyone from coming in.
BEFORE: NO GATE = NO SECURITY
TODAY : A NEW GATE = SECURITY
More things have to be done to improve the complex (build extra night facilities, bring electricity as we still have no power, add extra fencing around the complex). 
Proof of purchase
But, today, and mainly thanks to your donations, security has been enforced ; this, again, is a new step in JACK’s everyday life.
THANK YOU FOR J.A.CK. & thank YOU for THEM!!!!
Roxane
I hope that you are able to get the welding machine soon.
The new gate looks great!!
Fantastic Franck & Roxane! Makes a big difference.
You could certainly teach us a lot about stretching a dollar. I hope the donations keep coming in.
Great roxanne, thanks for this.
Excellent use of donations, Roxane. I’m glad you finally have a fence to the entry and I hope you have electricity very soon. I can’t imagine how you get along without it.
