Our Littlest Mosquito!
Arlen the Amazing!
Our youngest supporter, Arlen in Amsterdam (Clodagh’s 5 year old grandson) has gone above and beyond the call of duty to raise $200 to buy a camel for the Samburu! He has made his very own “I (heart) camel” t-shirts and created a special game of throwing a furry ball through a camel cut-out to win a prize in order to raise awareness and funds! Join Arlen in the fun, come up with new and exciting ways to participate!
“If you think you’re too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito” -Anita Roddick
