From: Pat RSent: Monday, 16 December 2013 1:54 AMTo: Suzanne GmailSubject: RE: emails from PNG trip Suzanne, Your presence on our PNG trip enriched my travel experience. The love and commitment you have for the PNG people was so apparent-especially when we showed up at the villages and the locals came up to you in open arms. Thank you for sharing with us all the wonderful aspects of their culture.

National Geographic/Lindblad is our choice of travel companies because they do customize their staff with people who are passionate about the location and culture. My world has been enriched because of your presence on this trip. (I let them know this on the survey as well)…. Enjoy your holidays and continue to dazzle travelers you share PNG with. Pat R

Mr. R (from the Tumbuna departure in May) has just donated $10,000 via the California Community Foundation to be used for charitable work in PNG, vetted through ATJ Foundation/Suzanne Noakes… First of all, we want to thank you for having such an impact on tour with our clients and so much so that giving back, becomes important to them.
