My body will not be a tomb for other creatures -Leonardo Da Vinci
Issue 3... I almost thought we wouldn’t get here. Firstly a huge thank you to the few talented individuals who helped me put together this issue - Celeste, Natalie & Carina. One week late, and working up until the last minute, you are the ones who made the issue as spectacular as it is. I would also like to thank everyone who supported us at our launch party in December. We had the support of some amazing companies such as Loving Earth, Emma & Tom’s, Barcode Logic and Funky Pies. We raised $1000 for Black Dog Institute, and sold over 30 copies of our magazine!

The March issue of Aponia brings you the tragedies of the Ivory Trade and its devastating affects on our Elephant population. It also brings us together to celebrate amazing artists and gives us some insight into the beauty world as well as the mind of the food genius behind Sadhana Kitchen - Maz Valcorza. We have introducted a few new sections such as ‘Beauty’ and ‘Community & Events’. We hope you enjoy! Natasje Editor
