Last Saturday I attented the Wildlife Heritage Foundation Summer Charity Ball. It was fabulous!
Despite being a bit cold, we walked around the park looking at the animals for about an hour in the evening. Then we were treated to a champagne reception with live African music and a chance to meet some animals close up! There was a beautiful corn snake and a lively skunk (called 'Pepe'!) which we were allowed to hold and also a gorgeous owl (which we couldn't hold!).
Dinner was served in a lovely marquee, beautifully decorated. The food was delicious! Again we were treated to some more African music and dancing too. Dinner was followed by speeches and a raffle and auction to raise money for Wildlife Heritage Foundation (WHF).
WHF is a specialist conservation charity based in Kent, UK. WHF works closely with Paradise Wildlife Park. The main aims of WHF are to educate people in the protection and preservation of Big Cats and the environments in which they live. They also run a breeding centre to maintain genetic diversity of Big Cats which are endangered. The hope is to be able to release these cats back into the wild when their habitats are safe.....
You can find out more about WHF by visiting their website.
