To the Director of Khao Khor Zoo:

Thank you again for the warm hospitality you and your team extended during my visit last month.

I am impressed by your commitment to animal welfare, education, and promotion, as well as creating a fun community atmosphere for visitors and staff. I am particularly excited to hear about your improvement plans for the zoo itself, especially the upgrades to the pygmy hippo habitat.

As you know, my global Ethereum community and I have experienced the amazing hospitality of Thailand and its people over the past few months. We have had some events across Thailand, and Devcon SEA in November in Bangkok was a great success.

None of this would have been possible without the warmth and kindness of Thailand and its organizers.

On behalf of the entire Ethereum ecosystem, I would like to express our gratitude to the entire nation and extend friendly greetings for everything you have done to welcome us.

What better way to offer a Christmas gift than to Moo Deng, who is loved by all Thais and has become one of the most unexpected yet significant Thai celebrities on the world stage?

More importantly, we hope to support her family and friends, Kha Moo and The Gang, as well as her human family, everyone at Khao Khor Zoo.

I am pleased to accept the invitation to be Moo Deng's foster father, with a donation to the zoo of no less than 10,000,000 Thai Baht.

I very much look forward to seeing Moo Deng healthy, thriving, and, at the same time, my family and community also flourishing.

Hereby confirmed:

I, Vitalik Buterin, hereby express my willingness to donate in support of the operation of the Khao Khor Zoo, the wildlife sponsorship program, and the development of a special exhibition for Moo Deng and her family.

Two donations of 5,000,000 Thai Baht (five million Thai Baht) will be made. The first donation will be made on December 26, 2024. Details regarding the second donation and any additional amounts will be communicated later, but no later than one year from December 26, 2024.

Donation method:

Check payable to the Khao Khor Zoo Wildlife Sponsorship Program.

In making this donation, I hereby authorize Khao Khor Zoo to use the funds for the purposes mentioned above until I notify otherwise or change. This donation is unconditional and without additional terms.

Sincerely

Vitalik Buterin
