I was actually just at the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage here in Nairobi last week and was really impressed with the work that they are doing. From what I can tell, they seem to operate of some fairly thin margins, I am sure that any donatio

This really deserves to be called out for the BS that it is. As someone who did / does non-spammy SEO for the past 5 years now, I can't tell you how much this kind of thing bothers me. It's services like this that ruined the
