Not to take away from my Mother's Day Post, but...


Wow...look who our team's been babysitting for the last 2 days (fortunately the Abbotts have been doing most of the work changing diapers and keeping her overnight). She's maybe less than a month old has taken to our kids in the past 48 hours, and the kids have really taken to her as well. What an opportunity, sad for her and for the chimp population in general...but our kids will NEVER forget this. Again, like Kemi, hunters shot her mother. Pray for wisdom over how to handle this situation (we would like to take her to the Limbe Zoo in Cameroon where they have a huge primate facility and can care for her and introduce her to a surrogate mother...but our neighbors don't like that idea, they want to make money by selling her, but we don't want to buy her from them because we feel like that would encourage more hunting of chimps, among other illegal matters).
