“Saola Stories” update
“Martha”
Last updated January 25, 2025
Crowdfunding goal: $25,000 by January 13, 2025.
We have reached - and even surpassed - the goal!!
I am inspired by, and deeply grateful for, the generous responses of so many lovers of Saola and believers in this project. Seventy people contributed, from all over the world. I had no idea what to expect when I started the campaign and gave it a try, and your response means a lot, to me personally and I hope also for Saola. This book has become a community, and for that I thank you all.
Here’s the final status as of today, January 25 - with abundant thanks to these generous friends of Saola and its home of the Annamite Mountains:
