Let the Painting for Wildlife challenge begin!... and end 24-hours later ๐จ
At 12:00pm on the 26th of May 2019 I began my 24-hour non-stop paintathon to help fund my trip to take part in a project aimed at conserving big cats such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs in the Naboisho Conservancy which borders the Masaai Mara National Reserve in Kenya ๐๐พ
Thanks to all of the amazing support, ยฃ810 was raised through this challenge, where 10% is going directly to purchasing essential equipment for conservation education in local Masaai schools ๐
So far I've been able to buyย a camera, a tablet, binoculars, memory sticks, and a selection of East African wildlife identification guide booksย to donate to the schoolsย thanks to all of your help! ๐
If you were keeping track of my paintathon then you've probably seen the 19 paintings I produced and plastered all over Facebook and Instagram during the 24-hours... ๐ ย
If not, or if you just want to see them for the 100th time, then check them out below! ๐จ
I'll be posting more about getting prepared for the project in the following weeks so check back if you're interested, andย thank you all again so much for your support!!
