From Hiroshima to Laikipia With Love
"I just wanted to say that I am in love with Ol Pejeta and people who are working there" Olga, a recent visitor to Ol Pejeta, wrote to us. She has been inspired to make rhino jumpers, badges and other trinkets to sell in her homeland of Japan in order to raise money for Ol Pejeta.
