Local designer shows support for CROW calendar

Support CROW by purchasing their 2015 calendar.

Produced by local voluntary association, “Under an African Sky”, the 2015 Born Free wildlife calendar campaign is once again raising much needed funds for Durban-based wildlife rehab centre, CROW.

Featuring stunning shots of Africa’s wildlife and their progeny, the 2015 calendar’s “Born Free” theme is a fitting one, given that CROW’s mission, for the past 34 years, has been to give injured and orphaned wildlife a second chance at a free life back in the wild.

CROW’s Director, Claire Hodgkinson, said she cannot stress enough the important role that these calendar campaigns are playing in raising crucial funds for the organisation, and as such she is appealing to the public to please show their support and buy the 2015 calendars.

“From the building of new enclosures and upgrading our clinic, to the purchase of a brand new 4×4 wildlife rescue and release vehicle, these calendar campaigns have become indispensable to our work,” said Hodgkinson.

Showing support for the initiative are fashion designer, Karen Monk Klijnstra, with her children, Rudy, Anouk, Lola, Maia and her husband, Bon. Each page of the calendar has an inspirational quote on it, with the Klijnstras especially loving September’s quote, which appropriately reads, ”To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there. (Barbara Bush)”.

The 2015 calendars are selling for R170 each, excluding postage, and are available from the CROW centre in Yellowwood Park. Desk calendars are available for R50 each.You can also place your order by visiting www.underanafricansky.co.za or emailing orders@underanafricansky.co.za.
