Hello Friends,
Welcome to my fundraising page for Ape Action Africa. As you may know I will be turning 29 this July 1st. Do you want to know what I will be doing to celebrate my birthday? I will be getting on a plane bound for the Cameroon to spend the summer volunteering for Ape Action Africa. I will be living at Mefou Park working to help rescued gorillas, chimpanzees, and monkeys that they have rescued-some only days old and hours from death- from illegal poachers and bushmeat traders.
You are probably wondering a lot of things right now like: What is bushmeat? How many animals are in Ape Action Africa's care? If I donate what will my money do?
- Bushmeat is meat of an animal that has been hunted for food. The hunting of gorilla, chimpanzee, and bonobo is illegal but the meat is prized as a delicacy and as a result gets a high price. All the orphans in the care of Ape Action Africa are a casualty of the bushmeat trade. This means that they watched as their whole family group was slaughtered by poachers and traders.
- There are about 250 primates in Ape Action Africa's care.
- Your donation to Ape Action Africa will allow this amazing operation in the forest of the Cameroon to continue to operate. Small or large all donations will go to assisting Ape Action Africa in caring for their orphans. What you give today could feed a baby chimp or gorilla for months to come.
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I am so honored to be spending my summer volunteering with Ape Action Africa. I know this will be a truly life altering experience for me and I hope to thank the organization by helping them raise money to continue to do such vital work.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ape Action Africa gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor me now!
Thank you,
Erica Lucianna Mariola
