My Nonprofit Reviews

We have been donating to this special NPO for several years: Our first step into the project was an adoption of the orangutan "Gokong". We are from Paderborn, Germany. Year per year our youngest son had wished a monkey for Christmas. Many books, stuffed animals, movies about Jane Godall or Dian Fossey later we ran out of ideas to "donate" him a responsible and sustainable approach to the animals. Then I found the option to support "The Orang Utan Project" by adopting a monkey. That was the most perfect Christmas gift for our son.
In fact, we are less interested in supporting a single orangutan and more interested in supporting the organization, the founder and staff who are working with so much courage, passion and expertise to improve the future of these animals and for the overall natural conditions.
But adoptions, stories about the return of Orangutans to their natural environment generates awareness and interest, which helped us to transport the subject even better for our children.
Every Christmas we read together the annual reports of Gokongs development ... it was as fascinating and emotional as the Christmas story. Next week our son will have his 18th birthday, and I hope he will stay connected to the project and hopefully he will be able to forward successfull stories to his children.
