There are some beautiful stories that come out of teenagers leaving their home and family to pursue a dream here in America. Kirsty Coventry gives us one of those almost too fantastic to believe stories. She is an athlete that provides hope to an entire country ..... Born in Harare, Zimbabwe Kirsty realized in high school that she loved swimming, enough so that she wanted to go to the United States to try and achieve goals not possible in her native country. She had never heard of a school called 'Auburn' until she spoke with some of her older swimming countrymen who had swam in America. In fact, she and her current Texas coach Kim Bracken still laugh about Kim's visit to Zimbabwe to recruit Kirsty. It was winter and Kim didn't understand that pools in Zimbabwe aren't heated, making it almost impossible to train year-round, yet she had come to watch Kirsty swimso, eager to please, Kirsty hopped in a pool and swam for a while, until she turned blue. It's not only a funny story, but also reveals the different world in which Kirsty grew up. A world in which she has been declared a 'national treasure' and has a high a profile as possible. Kirsty Leigh Coventry (born September 16, 1983 in Harare, Zimbabwe) is a Zimbabwean swimmer and world record holder. She attended and swam competitively for Auburn University in Alabama, in the United States.[5] At the 2004 Summer Olympics, in Athens, Greece, Coventry won three Olympic medals: a gold, a silver, and a bronze and in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing she won four medals: a gold and three silver. She was subsequently described by Paul Chingoka, head of the Zimbabwe Olympic Committee, as "our national treasure". Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has called her "a golden girl,"and awarded her US$100,000 in cash for her 2008 Summer Olympic Games performance. We are so proud of you Kirsty.... +++++++++ 2) NOTICES 2008 AGM Wildlife and Environment Zimbabwe will be holding its National Council meeting and AGM on the 13 September 2008 at Hwange Park, Main Camp during the game counting period.

I am doing intense research into the Westley family tree. The family was originally from Kimberely, Northern Cape, South Africa. All the children of Sarah Jane and Henry John Westley were born in Kimberely. There were 12 children in total - but only 10 survived infancy. Then they all moved to Benoni, Gauteng, South Africa. My father was one of these children - Douglas Alexander Westley, born 1918 and died 1999. The eldest child was Vernon John Renton and he and his wife, Edna (nee Raw) lived in Harare, Zimbabwe. Vernon, born 1908 and died 1954 at the age of 46, had four sons....Raymond, Bernard, Nigel and John. One of my father's sisters, Thelma Jane, born 1916 and died 1996 was married to Alec Stephen and they lived in various towns in Zim. Their son, Renton Stephen had a daughter Tracy and two sons Daniel and Bradley. I know Tracy lives somewhere in Zim, but I do not know her married surname. Another one of the 12 children, Doreen Isobel born 1909 married William Sheffield and lived for a time in Zambia. Their daughter Lorraine was married to Doug Payne and they had three children - Desiree, Wesley and Kim. Any information or contact details concerning these members of my family would be greatly appreciated and acknowledged.

The Wilson Family at Chipangali have cared for our wildlife for 35 years. They have saved, adopted, cared for countless animals, carnivores, antelope, rhino, birds, elephant, monkeys, snakes .... anything that needs a home is never turned away. They are finding times desperately hard with the food shortages and economic problems. They are trying to find scrap veggies at most of the places and if it wasn't for Ascot Spar and Hillside spar and Willsgrove vegetables they would be really in a jam. They are busy making our own rhino food at the moment which we are also feeding to all the antelopes and to the ducks etc. Our carnivores are our biggest problem at the moment and with our phones being almost non existent we are not getting the meat that we are requiring so we have resorted to grinding our own maize meal or buying it when we can, and cooking that and mixing that with the not so nice meat to try and feed to the wild dogs and some of the lions who are willing to eat it. They need YOUR help with donations of meat, grain and vegetables. Also we are going to hopefully be sending up to 17 lions to a very caring NON HUNTING conservationist in South Africa who is trying to breed white lions with the Chipangali lions who have exceptionally beautiful manes.

After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure that you really are strong and you really do have worth And you learn and you learn with every goodbye you learn... 1971 by Veronica A. Shoffstall
