I received a letter today from lichunlin at the Panda Base

I was getting a bit worried after sending out 6 letters and no replies from any of my contacts at Chengdu. I was chalking it up to just how incredibly busy they are right now which was most likely the case.

The most recent email stated their box was full and couldn't take any more mail. They must be absolutely swampped with letters.

Here is part of the email he replied with this morning. I'm so happy things are ok. I plan to return to Chengdu soon to help them but still trying to decide when that will be. Thought you all would like to see what he wrote. So sad the workers have to take cuts. They make so little as it is and are full time dedicated staff that never sleep I swear!!

hi sandra
i know you love pandas just like we do.
just like you know we have more job for you to do for the pandas , we have to take care the
pandas we have and also we have to take the pandas form wolong, so every one is busy
to work with pandas
baoshi is happy and geting bigger. the one promblem is there is a few visiters so we dont have more money use to pandas, but we cut a lot of money use for workers here, and to make suer the panda have enough food and clean water.
i think the baishi miss you too.
