May God bless you

do you want to help? you can donate.

Hi Jeanette, you’re correct and we apologise for the mistake in the video. Nyaru Menteng was indeed founded by Lone and since her retirement is now managed by the BOS Foundation. A note has been added to the description to help clarify this. Thank you for your comment! Tom at The Great Projects

LONE DROSCHER NIELSEN retired? Does she in RED SAVE ORANG UTAN now?

@Pappy van winkle why you hate orangutans? They're doing nothing,did they hurt you?

Hope you'll get chance to BORNEO it's also my hometown.

I would love to go volunteer too, I love to watch these beautiful creatures, they are so amazing ,just like All of Gods creatures are, and to go to another country too would be an experience,I may not want to come back to Montana lol

Don't. Donate money instead

@@natalieeis9284 could you elaborate as to why not

Hi Natalie, thank you for your comment and the Guardian’s article is a really interesting read for anyone considering taking part in a project abroad, especially those based at orphanages, schools and hospitals. Donations are absolutely a fantastic way to help and provide financial support (particularly in this difficult time), and for anyone looking to travel and take part in a project abroad, we always advise looking carefully at each project and asking how it is helping and ensuring they would not be taking work away from local people by joining. This project at Nyaru Menteng is run alongside the work of the BOS Foundation and works to provide extra support to the existing team at the centre. We frequently liaise with the BOS Foundation staff to understand what support they may require and what can be done to assist them, particularly anything that they may not have the manpower for. This ensures that everything even short-term volunteers do, contribute to the long term aims and efforts of the centre. Safety and maintaining the BOS Foundation’s successful rehabilitation and release programme is of the highest priority and so volunteers do not engage with this, but rather look to support the ongoing efforts of the BOS Foundation and provide additional assistance where required. There is also no hands-on contact with any animals, but the volunteers will help to build enrichment items and prepare food for the orangutans, as well as experiencing behind-the-scenes of a successful rehabilitation centre. Multiple health and safety checks are done prior to arrival and strict rules are in place to ensure the animals are protected at all times. If you would like any further information or would like to speak to a member of the team, please feel free to send us a message or give us a call. Thank you.
