Dear UNAA Times Readers, It gives me the greatest pleasure to welcome you to our limited edition of UNAA Times. We are a privately funded and operated news blog with a focus to reach our diaspora community with news and information that affects our communities. We are also available online at (www.unaatimes.com) and now enjoy membership in more than 72 countries across the globe according to our google analytics.

As a way to create more awareness about the work we do we produced this first limited edition of UNAA Times to highlight some of the stories we have covered over the year. We intend to make this a quaterly publication.

We are currently working on a special project “Galiwango” the first animated luganda movie that features the life of the mountain gorilla. We at UNAA Times are devoted to the conservation of this nearly extinct gorilla specie.

I therefore call upon all those organisations and institutions with a heart for Wildlife to support our cause as we work toward the completion of this movie. We have a trailer that has already been produced but we require funding and donations in order to complete the movie and the TV series.

Finally I wanted to thank you all for supporting UNAA Times and believing in our vision. We are growing and rapidly expanding. We have also joined the social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

On behalf of my creative director Mr. Solomon Jagwe allow me to thank you for supporting Galiwango the Movie.

Kindly help us spread the word.

If you would like to receive a FREE hard copy, please send us an email and your mailing address and we will mail it to you.

Sincerely,
Ronnie Mayanja

The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International is a not-for-profit organization founded by Dr. Dian Fossey in 1978 to preserve and protect the world’s last mountain gorillas. Originally named “Digit Fund” in memory of Dr. Fossey’s favorite gorilla, the Fund was renamed in 1992 to underscore its commitment to carry on the gorilla protection and research programs established by Dr. Fossey.

Story of a Mountain Gorilla Advocate,  by Eric W. Codak

Dian Fossey was murdered by an unknown attacker in her cabin at the Karisoke Research Center in the Virunga Mountains in 1985. The attacker hacked her to death by what investigators believe to be a machete. They entered through a hole in the wall prior to the attack.

No arrests have ever been made, but local authorities believe it to be poachers who were at odds with Dian and her anti-poaching brigade of but a few soldiers.
