CONSERVATION  WORK

Painting of Dr Ian Player - This painting has been bought by the Magqubu Ntombela Foundation and is displayed at the entrance to the Ian Player / Magqubu Ntombela Library at the Ewing McKeown offices, 28 Old Main Road, in Hillcrest. The library was opened on 5 June 2008.

The painting was sold for R22 000 and half of this (R11 000) has been donated to the Wilderness Leadership School to fund the training of a guide.

A limited edition of 100 Giclee prints may also be sold and half of what is raised used for WLS projects.
