Went to Masuwe in the morning for a volunteer walk with the P's. They were really cheeky today and Pendo kept stalking me x) We saw fresh leopard tracks which was so cool! After the walk we had brekkie, then i did medication for the cubs with Ever. Then we would make some toys for them. First we made a mobile, a huge branch of a palm tree where we hung different things, a bone, different types of grass, sticks, etc. We tied them with fibre which we braded out of trees. Me and Cumbo made a special toy, a long stick with some grass hanging from it. The others made a ring out of grass and fibre. We then walked the the P's enclosure and put up the mobile between two trees and they started slapping with their paws, trying to take the things down. Pendo got down many of them, Phezulu tried but he was kinda lazy. I played with Pendo with my toy and she really liked it and went after it, was so much fun playing with her. Then we went to the VF's and put up the ring of grass in a tree, Viti didn't really care but Fumi was really on it. She tried to get the ring down but got the WHOLE tree down that we put the grass ring in. It wasn't a small tree haha and she got the whole thing down, then she got scared when the whole tree fell haha but she went after the toy again and it didn't take long until it broke. We then had a wheelbarrow race, one volunteer and one lion handler worked together, so one the handler held the volunteers legs while the volunteer walked with the arms, me and Cumbo lost big time haha. But we had great fun anyways. We then went back to the lodge for some lunch, then me and Milena sat by the pool in the sun and just talked. We didn't have a long lunchbreak today cause we would leav to the homesteads to put up lights around their fences for their cattle. These lights are solar batteries and at dark they blink a red light which will hopefully keep lions away. The biggest factor why theres so few lions left is that they go close to peoples homes and kills their cattle and then of course they get mad and goes out and kills lions. So we are trying to save the lions and also save the people from starving. It took an hour there and we arrived at the first place and started to put up the lights. They had so many animals and lived so nice (even tho they dont have anything, not even water or electricity). This man asked where i was from and i said Sweden and he just kept on talking about how rich we were there and how good the country was, and i felt really bad. Like i have so so much, and they have nothing and thats just where you are born that determines that, shouldn't be like that. We then went to the next place to put up the lights, but we got a bit distracted cause they had kittens and baby goats, so so cute and i couldn't stop cuddling and holding them haha. We then went back to the lodge for dinner! Tomorrow is yet an exciting day which im looking forward to :)
