Category: Chimpanzee, Quarantine, Tacugama | Date: Feb 16 2009 | By: tacugama
I was with Dr. Rosa in Freetown doing some errands and she was commenting on the fact the Jessica will be completing her last health check and in a few days she will be out of quarantine. We were happy that this is the first time since last year our quarantine section will be free of chimps. Sadly, our happiness did not last long! We got a call from one of our former education officer … a baby chimp has been handed over to them together with an official handing over note!

Term 2 is in full swing and Class 5 students from the fifteen schools participating in the TKP have been performing a short play for their classmates as a reinforcement activity for the lesson on pollution.
The play deals with issues of water pollution within the rural communities in which these children live and addresses good hygiene practices.
Regent REC > Unisa: “Mama said the river was polluted, is that water pollution?”
