Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund Supporting Orphaned Gorrillas in Africa
The Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund (DWCF) has given more than $2 million to support conservation projects that protect primates. And the DWCF and Disney’s Animals Programs teamed up with the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International and several Association of Zoos and Aquariums-accredited facilities (the Dallas, Denver and Houston zoos) to build and operate GRACE (Gorilla Rehabilitation and Conservation Education Center) in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa.
The GRACE facility is where baby gorillas orphaned through poaching can be rehabilitated for eventual reintroduction to the wild and currently is home to 12 orphaned gorillas, with 3 more arriving soon.

If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne

A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

If I could be anything I wanted to be, I'd do this for a living. Unfortunately, I'm a bit too old for these sorts of adventures.
