A Redhead Saving Redheads – Barchinos Fundraiser

A major thank you must go out to all of those who attended and supported the Invitation To "The Orangutan Adventure Trek" I survived the jungle... Fundraiser held at the fabulous Barchino Restaurant, Chairlift Ave Nobby Beach last month!!!
Thank you for turning up to make a difference to the lives of Orangutans and the rainforest.... My apologies for not having replied earlier to everyone. With your generous contribution of time and money we raised funds to replant illegally logged national parks and support the Orangutan Education programs in Sumatra.
40 people attended a screening of a photographic presentation direct from the Sumatran Jungle, observing Orangutans in the wild and my journey through this beautiful land and its people.

The evening was a massive success due to the amazing people who attended, the scrumptious food, the live music and the generosity of volunteers such as Dave, Andy, Murray, Kim, and the fabulous Barchinos staff.

A warm thank you to Dave and Emma for their bravery in putting themselves up for Auction.

All proceeds $1500 raised through the auction and also the raffles of prizes so generously donated by

from the evening were gratefully accepted by Rainforest Rescue's replanting project in Sumatran national park that has been illegally logged.





PS: Did you know that I am about to launch Orangutan Education Treks for school students 12 to 15years! These adventures will give them the grass roots experience in Sumatra.... with the Orangutans, the habitat and the Indonesian school kids which will change their lives and therefore help to ensure the future of not only the continued existence of the precious Orangutan species but the future of our world’s environment.

Love Tracey
