From a Skidmore Alum who works for a safari company and works with a non-profit promoting community, health, and educational development, I deal with these issues daily. Well done; you deserve many thanks (which, knowing East Africa, I'm sure you got along the way.) Well done and keep up the good publicity!

Dear Eric and Aaron, I have been reading all the blogs. You guys are doing some great things, but taking all kinds of chances with your pick ups and the camp sites. Yes, watch out for those elephants; we ran into some adventures when we were on our safaries. Your pictures are wonderful, the beauty of the African sky, the birds, giraffes, they are all so marvelous. But, be careful.

Love, Grandma
