In the picture above: Will Travers, Virginia McKenna, SF founder/President Kishor Rithe, Dr Claudio Sillero and Chris Wright, after a lecture Kishor gave at the Born Free Foundation in Horsham, UK.
The Foundation was started by Ms McKenna and her husband Bill Travers, famous as the actor- couple who played Joy and George Adamson in the classic movie Born Free. This is the Foundation website.
Kishor writes from the UK:
"Today I was invited to give a lecture at Born Free Foundation at Horsham (UK). I was specially thrilled to see and meet a famous actress Virginia McKenna among the audience. She attended my lecture and applauded the work of Satpuda Foundation! While speaking to her after the lecture, I found her a great person...
"For her services to wildlife and to the arts, in 2004 Virginia was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire...I am proud that Satpuda Foundation is associated with Born Free Foundation, the organization that Virginia founded.
"She promised to extend every support for our conservation battle in the Satpuda! She was highly impressed by our work and has asked me to convey her best wishes to all our field staff, office bearers and trustees of Satpuda Foundation."
