Animals Asia walkers wanted

Sarah and Dave
Chilvers are call-
ing on people
who want to see
an end to the bar-
baric farming
of moonbears
for their bile in
China and Viet-
nam to join them
for a sponsored
walk.
Annabella and
Clarissa Wu are
Sarah’s latest re-
cruits, having ar-
rived from Hong Sarah with Clarissa and Annabel
Kong in February. They attended
an international school there and
knew about the work of Animals
Asia after a representative of the
charity had visited.
“The pictures they showed were
so shocking; many of us were cry-
ing,” said Annabella. “We signed
up for a trip to visit the bear sanc-
tuary in Sczhwan last year but it
had to be cancelled because of the
earthquake.”
Clarissa said she and Annabella
were surprised to see Sarah orga-
nising a garage sale close to their
home. “We want to help her raise
awareness of Animals Asia so that
moonbears can be saved.”
More help is always needed
said Sarah. “I’m really pleased the
girls introduced themselves; we’re
always looking for volunteers for
fundraising events like the spon-
sored walk in September.”
