Heartfelt thanks to a wonderful friend of the chimpanzees and bovines, Marya Barey, for sharing this lovely day of sanctuary tribute in honor of her father, William Barey, with us.
“In gratitude to my father whose birthday is April 15. It was my parents’ appreciation of nature in all its forms that made it possible for me to grow up with a “reverence for life” (per Albert Schweitzer). Honoring all the sanctuary’s beings is a privilege and a constant joy.”
Your parents sound like a wonderful humans, Marya. Thank you so much for celebrating your father and his birthday with us today, for being part of our sanctuary family, and for reminding us of humans like William.
