March 2010 budget update

Thanks to a generous order from a US conference, I believe this is the first month we're in the green! Hurrah! Now we can start allocating money to developing our Eco-Tourism Walks and a new conservation project I'll just keep secret for now...

We'll also be able to set money aside so that our Campsite Staff will continue to be employed through rainy season, when income will slow down substantially. Needless to say, Wallace and T-Boy are thrilled about this.
