We Urgently Need New Tents!
Category: Ewaso Lions Camp | Date: Mar 24 2009 | By: ewasolions
We are now desperately in need of small camping tents for the Echo Lima (Ewaso Lions) Camp. We donated one to the community scouts a few weeks ago as they often work at night in the Conservation Area in West Gate. Now, our second small tent has succumbed to the intense heat and strong winds we have been experiencing recently in West Gate.
The fly sheet has totally disintegrated and a few days ago the poles broke. We tried using duct tape to fix the pole, but it didn’t work! Raphael uses this tent and is now pretty desperate for a new one. I have had this tent for 18 years now and used it often during camping trips when I was a child. I think the tent has come to end of its life!

Please consider our appeal for new tents. Our mess tent also fell apart and now this tent. We urgently need new tents. Any amount donated will be put together to purchase 2 new tents costing $150 in total.

Ewaso Lions is a project based in the Samburu region. I am working with the local people to enhance co-existence between lions and communities in this stunning arid landscape in Northern Kenya.

Good luck! I know there are a lot of sales on tents right now. Maybe that will encourage folks to help you out!
