I know that it’s impossible for one person to save the world and as I mentioned in a recent campaign that I took part in, it takes many people who are willing to make little changes that will set the ball rolling.
I’m no rich tai-tai [house wife] but I knew that the least I could do on my part, seeing that I can’t really get any hands-on experience at the moment, was to donate a little bit towards a newly found organisation called Orang Utan Outreach, managed by Richard Zimmerman. Actually, he found me after I wrote an article for PK Tan’s campaign! lol 
And with this soft spot I have for orang utans, I decided that a small donation towards this labour of love was the least I could do seeing that all it took was a few PPP posts. I know many of you out there are still into PPP and with PayPal, making donations is SO simple.
So if you find that this is something you’d also like to take part in, please head on over to donate a wee bit of ALL that money you’ve made from ALL those sponsored and make a difference. It really gave me a wonderful sense of self satisfaction and a wonderful way to start the new year….don’t get all NATO, ok? [NATO = No Action, Talk Only, in case you didn't know! :P] And if you want, and so you should….grab that banner on my sidebar and join me.
My dream is actually to become a volunteer and join a rehab group for nursing and caring for abandoned joeys [both kangaroos and koalas]. They have that kind of groups here in Australia but I’m not sure how to go about it. However, I’ll have to keep this flame burning for awhile because it’s not something I can do right now - I already have a ‘joey’ of my own for now but this is something that I am seriously looking into doing in the future so for now, I’ll be doing some researching to see how I can get into this. 
If I can’t be a vet, the least I can do is be a nurse la. 
Can’t remember this little fella’s name but I think he/she’s cute!!
Ps. Before I forget, WWF-Malaysia doesn’t take donations via PayPal so you may need to send in a cheque instead. I think they should seriously consider PayPal though, it really does make it very easy for more people to donate, don’t you think?

If I am not mistaken, Sepilok runs a Volunteer Program with the orang utans. And I am not very sure with other orang utan volunteer opportunities, but if any body wants to volunteer at a sea turtle volunteer program, head on to Turtle Aid Malaysia
