Crow-funding calendar campaign kicks off

THE Under an African Sky calendar campaign for 2016 has kicked off with their stunning black and white ‘Contrasts of Africa’ wall calendar.

The calendar will be available to corporates and individuals for R170 each, excluding postage.

All funds raised from the calendar will be donated to the Yellowwood Park-based Centre for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (Crow), which for the rescue, release and rehabilitation of injured wild animals.

“The campaign would not be possible without the help of our loyal supporters,” said Ian du Randt, MD of Compass Medical Waste Services and founder of Under an African Sky. “PailPac, along with three of our other suppliers, have sponsored a calendar page every year since inception seven years ago, for which we are extremely grateful.”

The generosity of the sponsors, as well as businesses and individuals who purchase the calendar has enabled Under an African Sky to raise R1.1-million for animal welfare, with over R750,000 being donated to Crow. The wildlife sanctuary has used the much needed funds for the following worthwhile projects:

• The refurbishment and expansion of Crow’s surgery units.
• Employing an environmental education officer in CROW’s educare centre, as well as contributing towards the production and printing of the educare centre’s educational booklet.
• The purchasing of two vehicles to assist in the rescue of injured animals and later the release of these animals into their natural environment.

Each black and white photograph of South Africa’s treasured wildlife has been bordered and is logo-free so that the images can be framed after use. The A2 wall calendar is printed in matt on high quality paper and presented in a striking gift box.
