- Comments: Tammie | Thanks so much Janet for your inspiring response and actions :) Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
- Comments: Tammie | Lawrence, do you have a facebook page? If so it's worth putting an ask out there as many people don't want their old laptops and don't know what to do with them. Facebook is a good way to access them. The challenge is getting them to you of course! But where there's a will there's a way.
- Comments: Lawrence Gichuhi | Thank you so much Tammie. I wish this wonderful project could be replicated at Aberdare Ranges Primary School in Nakuru Kenya where am the Principal. At least through the great support of So They Can (www.sotheycan.org), we have electricity and the necessary expertise to sustain the project.

We just love the pictures, especially the happy faces with the computers now working so well. Thank you for sharing ithe story and pictures, Tammie! Tomorrow I will ask my students at the Pacific Harbour Multi-Cultural School in Pacific Harbour, Fiji, if they have any Environmental / Nature / Wildlife etc DVD's they could share with Humani Students. We know what it is like to struggle to get things, so if we can help, we will. What a grand story ... thank you again!! All the best to you, Tammie, and our good wishes to everyone at Humani School!... Janet

- Comments: Tammie | Hi Elizabeth, appreciate the compliment! Our little boy Solo is almost 3 now and mad about land rovers :)
- Comments: elizabeth lynch | Tammie, just finished reading Elephant Dance...you write well ...you could have done a degrre in English it was so well written..I am not patronising...far from it...did not expect such an enthralling read for a Scientist, that's all. I was delighted to learn you and Andy had a son ...I like happy endings! I will look out for your book next year... Warm regards, E.L.
- Comments: Melissa Maclean | Hey Tammie, I finished reading your first book - I really enjoyed it and found it very inspiring. However, I must admit I much preferred the romance in Elephant Dance, that Andy guy sounds like a real catch. Best, Mel
- Comments: Tammie | Why thank you Mel Maclean. A catch indeed and he'll be glad to hear you agree!

- Comments: Janet Arone | Greetings Tammie, What a grand opportunity for you and the Family, and how lucky Singapore is to get you both! Thank you for all the information ... Have a few people interested in Animal Works Expeditions, particularly in Africa .... please would you e-mail the details of all the expeditions, so I can pass them on? Perhaps I can get a group interested for next year. All the very best and please keep the interesting news, views and pics coming!! Kwaheri, Janet
- Comments: Tammie | Hi Joy! Great to hear you're thinking about visiting Africa. Wow there are so many options... For desert landscapes and arid-adapted wildlife combined it's Namibia, for the ultimate in wildlife it's the Okavango Delta in Botswana, for friendly locals, Victoria Falls and lots of elephants it's Zimbabwe (Hwange National Park).... And there's so much more! Namibia and Zimbabwe are more affordable than Botswana, so if price is an issue consider those two. South Africa's Kruger National Park is also well worth a look and it's easy to get to from Joburg, plus you'll definitely see the Big Five there if that's what you're after. The company I most often recommend is Wilderness Safaris because of their commitment to conservation and community development - check out their website at http://www.wilderness-safaris.com - but there are lots of others, so drop me an email through this site when you're ready to book and I'd be happy to sort out your safari or point you to others who can.
- Comments: Joy Neal | Hi Tammie, I have read your book Dry Water and it has made me all the more determined to visit Africa, something i have wanted to do since a little girl. What I hoping is that you might be able to suggest a couple of good places,safari's, camps etc trhat I could look into to stay for a holiday and get to experience the heart of Africa. Hope your new adventure in Singapore is all you were hoping it to be. Cheers Joy Neal.
