Happy Birthday, Marya!

April 23, 2022 by Katelyn

Wonderful friend of the sanctuary, Marya Barey, sponsored this special day of sanctuary in memory of her parents. And as though that isn’t lovely enough, it also happens to be Marya’s birthday AND our official/unofficial holiday (created by another wonderful friend, Monica), Love a Chimpanzee Day!  

Side note: If you are interested in helping celebrate Love a Chimpanzee Day with a donation to the chimpanzees you love, check out the GiveBIG page from Monica and Diana!

Thank you, Marya, for all you help make possible in the chimpanzees’ and bovines’ lives! Sharing your special day and beautiful message with us all means so much!:

“I’m thrilled that my birthday, April 23, is also “Love a Chimpanzee Day” and am happy to sponsor this day not only for all the wonderful chimp and people beings at CSNW but for all chimpanzees. I’m grateful for their presence, their intelligence, their adaptability, their antics and their depth of soul and spirit. And thanks to this marvelous community of human primates who help to support this and other wonderful sanctuaries. My parents gave me a love of all nature and it has sustained me through very difficult times so I’m thankful to them for their sensitivity and for passing on their commitment to me.”

Happy Birthday, Marya! Happy Love a Chimpanzee Day, all!

Love’s a funny thing. Sometimes, when we’re very lucky, we meet someone and think our hearts cannot possibly hold more love for this person. And then you meet fifteen more people…

    For in the true nature of things,
    if we rightly consider, every green
    tree is far more glorious than if
    it were made of gold and silver.

    Thanks to all for your well-wishes on this day and for your continued support and commitment to all the amazing beings at CSNW! It’s truly a privilege to be a part of this community of caring and soulful individuals, in all its various shapes and forms (that would include BK, bovines, humans, chimps, marmots, deer and any other beings I’ve forgotten. Must admit we could all do without dramatic experiences with rattlers this year — isn’t that correct, Burrito!!???
