Today’s day of sanctuary was sponsored by Andrea Ogg in honor of Derek Johnson! Andrea surprised Derek with this special gift last Christmas and shared the following message about today: “Derek has spent a significant portion of his adult life studying, caring for and about chimpanzees. We will be coming to the sanctuary on July 11, 2015. We can’t wait to “meet” your chimps!”
Andrea, what a wonderful gift to give for both Derek and the chimpanzees! That it is complimented with your attendance of our summer visit program makes it even more meaningful and we are so touched that you would think of the chimpanzees in honoring Derek today. Thank you so much for caring about the chimps and making a difference for them.
We look forward to your visit and hope you both have a wonderful day!
Our guy, Burrito:
I love all the Chimps, but Burrito is such a sweetheart! I wonder how he feels being surrounded by so many ladies?
It’s the eyes – after all he’s been through, before coming to CSNW – he has such gentle eyes. How can you not love this guy?
Enjoy your visit Derek Johnson
