So as you can see, we are all over the internet. Thank you for all you support!

The E.N.D

I cannot even begin to express my greatest gratitude to everyone who has been supporting us. As we are inching closer to the dateline of submitting this blog, I cannot help but feeling a little zing in my heart. It's so hard to give it all up, after all we went through.

Currently, I'm listening to You'll Be In My Heart by Phil Collins in our blog- Trading Love which makes it even more harder for me to let go. I'm not quite certain letting go of what exactly but it's just feel like an end. It's very nostlagic for me for some reason. It's almost like a journey and now it has come to an end.

I believe that the Orang Utan Savers have indeed done something for the orang utans. This blog, dearest reader, has almost come to an end but I can assure you, our effort, our journey in saving the orang utans has just begin and we are still counting on you to be with us.

This is the orang utan savers, signing off. :D

A Word To Apologize

We would like to apologize for not being able to carry out many activities for all of you orang utan savers out there. We were actually planning to carry out a campaign at Taman Aman during these school holidays. However, due to the Influenza A H1N1 pandemic our parents did not allow us to do so. Therefore, we just did the best we could and carried out the campaign in school before the school holidays.

We would also like to inform all our dear orang utan savers that we have successfully managed to collect RM 88 from the sales of our orang utan bookmarks. We were supposed to pass the money to WWF yesterday but we couldn't do so due to transportation problems. As all of you know, yesterday was a working day and of course, our parents were at work. We would insyaallah pass the money to WWF on Tuesday as Monday is a public holiday. Although RM88 is a substantial amount, we believe that it will still do good for the orang utans.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE ONE WHO HAS DONATED MONEY!!

THE ORANG UTANS WILL APPRECIATE YOU

YOU ARE THE

SUPERMAN IN THEIR HEARTS

A Tiring Day!

Hello, there everyone. Well, today was a very tyring day for myself and my kakak. We went around my neighbourhood to give out flyers on orang utans :) . It was very, very, very tyring as we were fasting. With the passion we had to save these orang utans, we still carried out our job. These were the pictures which we took.

Rehabilitation Process

Hello, there everyone.

People often say that the government should open more rehabilitation centres for the orang utans. But, do we know anything about rehabilitation in the first place? Well, in this blog post, I would like to give you a brief intro on the rehabilitation process.

The process starts off with the admission process where the orang utans are admitted to the rehabilitation centre. It is something like going to the hospital, you see...

Then, the orang utans will be quarantined for a period of 3-6 months to eliminate the risk of passing on diseases to other orang utans. During this period of time, medical examinations will be carried on them.

The orang utans will be sent to the nursery. Here, they will be thought the necessary skills for survival. The Outward Bound School (Platform A) will then be the place for these animals. This is where the orang utans are given freedom and are encouraged to stand on their own feet. Their natural forest diet is suplemented with milk, minerals, vitamins, and fruits twice a day. This is to ensure that they grow healthy.

Lastly, the orang utans will be sent for their "Survival Training". Sounds scary right? This process actually determines their future. It allows them to be fully independent in the forest. The orang utans in the rehabilitation centres will then live happily ever after ;)

Take A Look!!

Why are you deep in thought?

Or are you in dreamland, dear orang utan?

Owh, that's how orang utans laugh?

So, cute right?

Ah... how sweet!

The orang utans are in love? Hehe....

Poor, boy! It's sleepy.

" Someone, give me a pillow please! Now!!"

This orang utan is very, very angry.

"Don't you dare disturb me!!"

Let Them Live Life To The Max!

Look into their eyes. It tells you a thousand words.

After much research, I have found out the life span of the orangutans. And, it makes me sad to say that an orang utan has a maximum life span of only

50 years. Sadly, in the wild, most orangutans can only live upto 30-45 years. But, why can't us humans leave these orang utans alone? They do not harm us and we should treat them the same way. Let us leave the orangutans in peace and harmony. Now and always :)

Beautiful Creatures

We have pledged to make this blog as interesting as it can be! Well, for some reason, people seemed to think our blog is deprive from uniqueness. WELL THINK AGAIN! Because I, one of the orang utan savers will make sure that this blog will cease to amuse you. (Sorry, I'm hungry due to the fasting month and all. I'm a little bit hyper when hungry).

Gosh. Like we are sooo moving forward! I mean, look at this blog. We have almost 900 visitors now! This is so totally fabulous! So, today, I am going to talk about HOW to save the orang utans. Don't you just find it annoying when people like tell you to save orang utan but never show you how? Well, I do. So, I looked this up on the Internet and found out how and now, I will tell you. (Content may have been modified for your reading pleasure)

1. Cut down the usage of PAPER. God, people. Do I like have to tell you everything? Common sense! I'm certainly not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I could figure out that papers came from trees. Trees are habitats for orang utan so, if we use more paper, they cut down more trees which mean, orang utans are losing their habitat!! HOW CRUEL IS THAT? GOSH! I mean, we have computer right? (Don't LIE to me, if you don't have any access to the computer or internet, you wouldn't be able to view our blog). If we are THAT desperate to send a letter to our loved ones *wink*, we can use the magic of e-mail. Crazy right? Technology nowadays, woah, they really excite me!


2. You can adopt an orang utan! You can name the orang utans and you will receive letters and informations about the orang utan you choose to adopt. You can adopt them from The Orang Utan foundation international. But I'm so broke. I've spent all my money on this totally fabulous dress yesterday. Now, I regret my decision. So, conclusion : orang utans before shopping!


3. The next is especially dedicated to the government. So like, read carefully, government! You can play a big role in saving orang utan! The government can like prevent all of these illegal tree cutters from cutting down orang utans habitat trough law enforcement. Apparently, the law now isn't enough. I suggest death penalty. I know right? So extreme! But why not? If there's death penalty for killing another human being, why not doing the same to orang utan? They too are living, breathing creatures! Get my drift? Like oh my gosh!

This is an incredibly long post!!!!! But I did something for the orang utans and that is what keep me going. We are on this mission and we hope we are not alone. THANK YOU!

P.s. Don't you feel inspired?!! I do.. :D

Warm Wish

So who here's psyched for Malaysia's 52nd Independance Day celebration?! I know I am! Here's just a warm wish to everyone to have a great one week off from school. Selamat berpuasa and we, the Orang Utan Savers, hope you have a good one!

Activities Done :)

Hey, there everyone. Just a short post to update you on what we have done so far throughout our orang utan campaign :) Check it out!

8 August: Orang utan flyers were given to Year 6 students of SK Assunta (1)
19 August: Orang utan flyers were given to staff of Azman, Wong, Salleh & Co.
20 August: Orang utan flyers were pasted on the walls of each class and were given out to all the teachers.
20 August: Pn. Puteri, our teacher advisor, promoted our blog during the morning announcement and encouraged school staff and students to visit it.
20 August: A few people from TV9 came to our school to interview us regarding our progress so far in this campaign.
20-21 August: Orang utan button badges were given out. The badges gained a lot of popularity and demands. Our fellow Elynna had to make more badges for the students!
21 August: Orang utan banners were signed. A lot of people showed their support by writing down sweet messages to the orang utans.
21 August: Orang utan bookmarks were sold to raise funds for the orang utans. Sold at RM3 each, we received a lot of response from the school staff.The funds will be given straight to WWF.

That is all for now. We will be carrying out more activities soon! We would like to wish everyone who was involved, and those who helped us promote our campaign. We appreciate your help!

How Many?

Well, my dear friends, we often hear from all kind of sources that orang utans are going to be extinct very soon. But, do we know how many orang utans are actually remaining in this world?

In Borneo, it is estimated that 12,000 to 15,000 orangutans are remaining in Borneo (compared to about 20,000 in 1996) and approximately 4,000 to 6,000 left in Sumatra (compared to about 10,000 in 1996). Sadly,experts have estimated that orangutans could be extinct in the wild in 10 years time.

While there is still time, let us do our utmost level to save them :)
