Below, reminders to the children, our students, of how full a day can be by being mindful of the world around us. The AoC Code of Conduct is reproduced into a big banner which is displayed in the classrooms where we work.

AoC works with populations located next to Volcanoes National Park where research shows there is strong evidence suggesting that many primate species are susceptible to many of the infections that people are afflicted with and that the transmission of infection can occur in both directions.

Hence, Valerie, Eric, Vince, and I stress these Staying Healthy Tips (below) to our 150 students over and over again. Then we ask them to stress these Staying Healthy Tips to their mom, dad, and siblings over and over again!

Hi Sue!  Thank you for supporting Art of Conservation!  We, Valerie, Eric, Vince, and I, truly appreciate your generousity.  Please consider coming to Rwanda and bring the Arizona artists with you.   I guarantee the children and their teachers would welcome you all with open arms.  Not a bad idea?

Anyway, thank you again for the financial support.  I can’t come up with the words to express my thanks to you for your mentorship and friendship!  Stay well.
