KEEN to help vulnerable and orphaned animals. radio personality Lloyd Paul has lent his support to the Under An African Sky cause of selling calendars to benefit the Centre for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (Crow).
Paul of Lotus FM is a recipient of the ‘Pfizer Mental Health’ Journalism Fellowship Award, winner of reality television show ‘You’re Hired’ on SABC 2, was named Sunday Tribune Lead SA Hero, and is now an Under an African Sky (UAAS) ambassador.
He is known for the work he does for the KZN Blind and Deaf Society’s ‘Talk Sign’ campaign and the Robin Hood Foundation. Noted for breaking boundaries and stereotypes, Lloyd educates the youth on a positive and drug-free lifestyle. He has also been instrumental in nation building and racial integration in South Africa.
“It is vital for us to conserve and take care of the awesome wildlife that we share our planet with, so that generations to come will also be able to see and appreciate these amazing creatures,’’ said Lloyd. “This is the reason I grabbed the opportunity to represent UAAS and their benefiting charity, Crow with both hands.”
UAAS is a voluntary organisation started by Compass Medical Waste Services eight years ago. Over the years the committee of Compass staff volunteers have raised R1.3-million for animal welfare through their calendar campaign. The stunning 2017 calendar is entitled ‘Reflections of Africa’ and features South Africa’s majestic wildlife and their reflections in water, and is endorsed by Lloyd.
Besides radio, Lloyd has made his mark in the music industry with his vocal versatility and has shared the stage with the likes of Jay Sean, DJ NYK, Black Coffee, Professor and Tsoso, the late Mandoza, Loyiso, Mafikizolo, Jae, Arthur and Danny K.
The A2, UAAS wall calendar sells for R180, excluding postage, while the CD size desk calendar, comprising the same stunning photographs, sells for R60. To order your calendar call Dianne Reddy on 031-267-9700 or email orders@underanafricansky.co.za or visit www.underanafricansky.co.za.
All proceeds from the calendar will be donated to Crow to assist with the rescue, release and rehabilitation of wild animals. Over the past six years, R915,000 of the R1.3-million raised has been donated to Crow.
