“After our initial post in December, we have received a whopping R8 000 in donations towards their care and a whole lot of carrot juice. We are in awe over the support and are thrilled to show you their progress. Progress that you are directly funding,” said CROW’s communications officer, Alex Kogl.
To support the care of the bush baby duo, an EFT donation can be made using the reference “bushbaby.”
