The last two years have been remarkable.

    Beloved Negra, what a pleasure to wish you a happy happy birthday. I think of you as being Yoda-like. You seem so wise, serene, patient and comfortable in your quiet moments. I am SO happy to think of you enjoying your favorite view from your new window. With all good wishes and love, Karen

    Amazing video! This is what it’s all about it. Happy chimps. Thank you to each and every one of you for the care and love you have given to these wonderful creatures. I am so honored to be a part of it.

    Just another perfect testament to how lucky our chimps are to have CSNW. They certainly got the golden ticket when they came to CSNW and how lucky are all of us to be a part of it all!

    Chimp hugs and kisses to all!!

    Dear Negra

    I hope your day is filled with new windows, sunshine, green pastures, a cool breeze, baked goods, dancing caregivers, chive flowers, clean blankets, fresh straw and clean hay.

    I love you Negra and I hope you have the best day ever.

    Happy Anniversary CSNW & Happy Birthday Negra! What a beautiful video! Here’s to many, many more successful years, and happy, thriving chimps! We are so happy to have found you, and we are even happier to be able to help.

    I spent a most lovely day at CSNW. It was as a guest of my daughter Julie. A delicious Bar-b-que was held in appreciation for the volunteers and each was allowed to bring a guest. Lucky, lucky me! I met all the staff members, a lot of the volunteers and talked to Keith about his dream and resulting sanctuary. The highlight was watching those wonderful, lucky chimps foraging and eating the food Julie had helped to prepare. I go to their BLOG each day never dreaming I would be allowed to go in person . Thank you, thank you to all of you for what you are doing to give those girls, and and one handsome boy a happy life and keep Keith’s dream alive. Barbara Boekholt

    I hope to one day visit CSNW and be a guest too! Thanks for sharing this lovely video – you guys rock. Happy Anniversary – all the best to the CE7.

    Thanks for the update. Wonderful work by all of you. For me it’s so simply to send money but it’s not simple to do what you do. So I thank you all for thinking of the project , the follow through and the obvious love you give these deserving, lovely animals.

    I hope to visit one day when you have a fun(d) raiser open house.

    My heart sings for these babies. It is pure joy to see happiness behind those eyes. Big hugs to them all!

    Candy – I made the video with the help of some online software. They have the rights to a bunch of music. The artist is Secrets In Stereo and the track is called Again.

    Thanks for all of the comments and wishes for a Happy Anniversary and Happy Negra’s Birthday – we all have a lot to celebrate.

    I’m glad I’m not the only who admitted to crying…i’m so thankful the intelligent and compassionate individuals on staff at CSNW are willing to devote their gifts to such an admirable cause…those happy chimps are happy because you gave them a chance at happiness. Lovely.

    It’s so wonderful to see the chimps free and happy, never to be harmed or tortured again. This beautiful video made me cry tears of joy for their new life and all the happiness they have found. Thank you to all the people that have made this possible for the chimps.

We just need to pray that all of the others being held in labs can find a caring loving place. God bless all of you that work and volunteer to help these 7 wonderful chimps. I love all of them.
