Alan Donovan - A Love of Africa's Arts and Crafts

Apart from the Heritage House, Donovan has helped upgrade the art collection in Kenya's national archives and preserved the collection of the late Murumbi. He also launched a program to save the lion population in the national park. The goal is to persuade Masai pastoralists -- with cash compensation -- not to kill the lions when their cows and goats are mauled. Donovan would like to add six more suits to his house but isn't sure he has the stamina to complete it. Nor is he sure what will happen to the house when he's gone. He has no children. "I was going to will it to a foundation before I die, so I can live here," he says.
