Raising money for

Orangutan Foundation

Charity Registration No. 1095660

The Orangutan Foundation is the world's foremost orangutan conservation organisation. We are saving Asia's endangered great apes by protecting their tropical forest habitat, working with local communities and promoting research and education.

The approach of the Orangutan Foundation goes beyond that of purely protecting the orangutan. Critically it also includes a recognition that orangutan habitat is unique in it's richness of biodiversity and crucial for local communities, who are as dependant on the forest as is the orangutan.

Conservation is more than protecting a species, it is about saving nature which includes us, 'the fifth ape'. The efforts of all of us to prevent global warming will be seen as a defining moment in history, for humanity's sake and for the health of the whole planet. Tropical forests can play a significant role in guarding against climate change.

My story

Hello, and thanks for visiting my fund-raising page.

As you can see from the photo, my hair is long and very unbright brown. If I hit my fund-raising target, I will dye my hair not just ginger but bright orange - at least one shade of orange, maybe more. I don't want it to be the temporary wash-out stuff so once it's done it should be staying for a while!

If I reach my target before Orange for Orangutan day (Friday 14th November 2008) and have time to do the deed before then, I will also dress in bright orange, including nail varnish, and carry around my cuddly orangutans (I have quite a few) on that day!

When I reach the target and the deed is done, I will add photos as proof on www.jwuniverse.co.uk

And now for the information bit written by someone else:

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Orangutan Foundation 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!

All the best,

From Jo

Well we didn't meet the Orange for Orangutan day deadline, but I tell you what; if we reach the target I'll wear orange as well as dyeing my hair orange anyway, even if we have missed it!
