By way of a follow-up email to one I posted late last year.
I’ve just taken delivery of 2 pair of binos and other accessories – a generous donation facilitated by Johannes Nothdurfter on behalf of Swarovski Optik Australia. They will travel with me to Sri Lanka in May and be left behind at the project for which I’m volunteering (with a deal of regret on my part I might add, as they are rather super!).
As previously emailed to Birding Aus the Sri Lanka based group want to develop a community based program to support bird conservation and especially to work with school children. The donated binos are for a good cause and will make a lasting positive difference for people and wildlife in need and Swarovski definitely has my vote for this amazingly generous gesture!
I trust this update to Birding Aus won’t be construed as an advertisement of any kind, rather just recognition for the generosity of spirit. The fact that publicity was not a prerequisite for the help was stressed to me.
