Have you ever….. Canoed the Zambezi – 449 words

“Would you like to come with me to Zambia in a couple of weeks?” my boyfriend asked. I didn’t have to think twice and we embarked on a discovery of this wonderful South African Country. It was utterly fantastic!

Leigh & Westcliff times Orangutan Campaign Sandra Dean July 2009

My local fortnightly newspaper, The Leigh & Westcliff Times, published my story on 30th June 2009. 

Following my last publication locally, I was really pleased, as it highlights the palm oil situation that is harming the rainforests of Borneo & Sumatra and killing the Orangutans.  We must act soon, and force the Supermarkets & manufacturers to swap from unsustainable to sustainable palm oil.  The production of unsustainable palm oil is damaging our environment, and harming the people and wildlife of Borneo & Sumatra – Continue reading My Orangutan Campaign in the Leigh Times – July 2009

My Radio Interview with Dave Monk – BBC Essex

On Bank Holiday Monday the 25th May 2009, I had my first Orangutan Campaign in the local newspaper (Echo). 

I decided to speak out about my bankruptcy 4 years ago, the spiral into depression that that situation led to,  and how helping the Orangutans has given me a new lease of life and lifted my spirits, as it is a time of depression within this credit crunch, and many people are feeling the pinch.  I feel that this story could give people some hope and Continue reading My Orangutans campaign – Echo newspaper May 2009
