Diani Goat Derby
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Oct 22 2007 | By: admin
Yesterday the EAWST was represented in style at the famous Diani Goat Derby - goat races for charity organised by the East African Women’s League. (The goats are very well cared for and the races are held in humane conditions.) We were invited to have a tent and got to use our smart new banner for the first time. We displayed our wares including our new key-rings and thanks to super volunteers Simon and Peninnah we made just over USD100 from merchandise sales! It was a really fun day for a good cause and the whale sharks in Diani got some publicity as well.
And whale shark enthusiast and manager of Diving The Crab Diani Digo Danny shows off his whale shark tattoo!! He was awarded the prize for “Best Whale Shark Supporter”. Well done Danny!!

Hi Nimu, sounds like great fun. How come your photos look so small??? And, when are we going to see a photo of you…. the author of this blog?
Hi Paula - thanks for your comments. That’s me in the white dress next to the organiser of the event! I can’t seem to get any pictures that are bigger to upload and we don’t have very good internet connection here! That is one of things we are fundraising for - satellite internet connection. Perhaps when we get the funds in, I will be able to upload bigger pics!!! Best.
