save the lemur
Back in December Mike Lee announced that he would try to get 100 people to donate $100 each to the Madagascar Fauna Group by the end of the year. At that point it was somewhere around the 27th of December, so it was a tight squeeze. In order to push this he was offering to send each person who donated before 2008 one of Thievey's adventurous brethren.
I thought I'd contribute, since I don't often donate to charities and this seemed like fun. All things went well, the 100 milestone was reached and surpassed and over $12,000 was raised for the lemurs. I asked for my lemur to be sent to Australia, since I was going to be there for longer than I expected and I don't trust the Spanish postal service further than I can throw a large heavy object. Of course my new friend arrived about 3 days after I left Australia.
Pepe is now enjoying a break in Melbourne and seeing some of the sights. We'll let you know a little more about Pepe soon.
