Hello Stratton Elementary… Here are some answers to the additional questions you sent me the other day. Please forgive me if I left anyone out! I don’t type that quickly and there were many questions! Here is me working with Will from WildlifeDirect earlier on today in Mutsora.

Anna & Devin - Yes, I like my job a lot. It also allows me to help the flora and fauna of my country, and also gives me a salary so I can feed my family and look after them.

Zoey & Dylan - there are parrots in Congo and many other kinds of birds! There are no parrots where I live, but we have eagles, herons, kingfishers… lots and lots. It is one of the best places in the world for bird watching! Especially in Ishango where the hippos are.

Emma - I like sweets but we never really eat them. Maybe sometimes after sports to give me energy!

Zack - Yes I do go fishing. In Ishango, where the hippos live, we fish in the lake. You must always avoid breeding grounds as it will only damage fish stocks.

Clare - The Advance Force of Rangers has 4 vehicles. One is broken at the moment, and the 3 others work but unfortunately are not in a good state. We need to push them a lot to start!

Erin & Devin - I spend as much time as possible with my children but I work a lot, so not as much as I would like. Often we do 10-day patrols for example within Virunga National Park and that obviously takes me a way for a while.

David & Jessica - My favorite animal is the Okapi. It only exists in Congo!! It is a member of the Giraffe family. It walks quite like a Giraffe, but doesn’t look like one. Here is a photo below! Have you seen this before?

Cassandra & Brian - My uncle (on my father’s side) has been kidnapped by the Rwandan Interhamwe; they are rebel forces that are still in eastern Congo. My uncle was in Rutshuru, south of where I live. He was kidnapped two weeks ago, and we know nothing. He was a chief and this is why he was targeted. We are very sad.

Elizabeth Hirose - my children go to school in Mutsora. This is where I live and the school is 10 minutes from my house.

I would like to thank you for all you are doing, and thank you for thinking of me and my Rangers.

Kwa Heri! Aloma
