I just received an email from the charity-fund coordinator at work.

Thanks to months of lobbying I managed to raise

7000 Euro (10.000 US$)

for the BushBlok project at the Cheetah Conservation Fund.
On top of that, some co-workers made a time-wise donation which means that 11 of my 30+ days in Namibia are paid for and won't cost me vacation days.

It's a X-mas gift for the soul.
