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 All!

My good friend Kai at Justgiving has me in for a little wager, i've bet him £300 to a charity of my choice that he'll have his hair reshaped into a mohawk, bleached and coloured electric blue for at least a week!

Think of Flounder, little guppy fish from The Little Mermaid (of Walt Disney acclaim). The inspiration from this creature is the reason behind why Kai will be making an ape of himself! Oook!

As for the orangutans they need all the help they can get! I first realised their plight when I read a compelling article by Terry Pratchett inside his 'Once more with footnotes' book; and when my girlfriend Joanna decided to go over to Indonesia to help with the Orangutan habitat.

Lets just say that poachers and palm oil farming is having a very nasty effect on our cheeky, close relatives. They've even been caught nipping off with fisherman's boats and stealing their catch! Clever!

Oh, some formality stuff!
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Orangutan Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

YEY!
Thanks to those who've donated so far :D

Wow! So much already; I know those apes will never see Kai and his cheeky antics but I'm sure those who will should appreciate the week it happens.

My girlfriend Jo's going to be heading off to help the ooks in a foreign country. Feel free to checkout her website at www.jwuniverse.co.uk !

Y'know I was really hoping to see Kai all trussed up like Sonic the Hedgehog, you can bet that when he does it; you'll not only see photos of him in action, but videos too! Hey, y'know he's even intending on running a marathon?

KAI THE HEDGEHOG! C'MON! MAKE IT SO!
