      Joel- I'd absolutely love to visit Tanzania, and the Ngorogoro. In fact, I'd like to visit every country in Africa, but I'm not sure I'll be able to skip the USA for a year! I'll surely take photos for you if I make it over there!

      Heather- Thanks to you, and all the backers, it WILL be an amazing opportunity. BioTAP would be proud, haha.

      Deana- Thanks so much! I so appreciate you guys.
