Second and third educational events

The second and third educational events continued to be met with enthusiasm from the community. Unseasonable rain menaced us on July 23rd, but the neighboring church kindly welcomed those willing to brave the storm. About 250 people enjoyed a movie about elephants and a short film of a lion hunt. On the 30th, weather had returned to normal, and a crowd of over 500 people were enthralled by a perfomance from the Kyanyawara Conservation Club followed by a film about polar bears and other Arctic wildlife. On the 30th, we were also able to share the results of our initial surveys with the community, and field several questions about the project. Overall, there seems to be great anticipation for the opening of demonstration areas [which has since occurred!].
