Rita Sambura , who was born in Italy and now lives in the USA , had this to say when she visited Uganda ” I got back yesterday from Uganda. I have no words to describe it. The experience with the gorillas, the chimps and the birds is going to remain with me forever, as will those beautiful people.
Africa’s bug ? I had it already, but now it is a disease. Ah, le mal d’Afrique… I can’t wait to go back. Soon.”
Rita who is an avid bird enthusiast, and who was recently made aware of the good work that the Rare Finch Conservation Group is doing with the threatened Shelley’s Crimsonwing in Africa , has very kindly offered to translate the RFCG website into Italian. We all know that Google offer a translation facility, but speak to any language expert and they will tell you that the Google translation is never quite the same as when a person that speaks the language, and knows the topic, does the translation work. We thank Rita in advance for this very kind gesture and look forward to reaching a new audience in our global public awareness and fund raising campaign .
The RFCG has no full-time staff members and every member of the group volunteers their skills and services free of charge in the interests of advancing finch conservation work

Thank you Rita! I hope that the RFCG received my recent online donation?
Hi Brenton , yes thanks so much for your recent donation . We really do appreciate your ongoing support . We were off line for a couple of days ( the joys of living in Africa ). Bit by bit we are trying to reach our USD 25,000 target
Kind regards
