Borneo Environmental Trip 2021

In July 2021 I will be travelling to Malaysian Borneo, with Malmesbury School and the organisation Global Action, to work with several charities after my GCSEs. The Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, The Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre and the Rainforest Discovery Centre. These charities do vital work caring for animals displaced and injured due to the effects of the massive new palm oil plantations which are savaging the rainforests and ruining the ecosystem. I will be working with them to assist in their research and learn for myself about the delicate balance of our natural resources.  My aim is to become a vet and this trip of a lifetime will allow me to have some incredible access to caring for different animals and studying new environments.
For anyone living near me I am making and selling Palm oil free personalised dog biscuits. "Paws Against Palms" Please email me for details. Our team are also running bake sales, car boot sales and quizzes. The whole trip costs £3,500 and there will be additional expenses of specialist clothing. A large proportion of this goes to the charities themselves. It is not all holiday costs!
I am very appreciative to you for reading this and hope that one day I may be able to repay the favour by looking after your animal when I am a qualified vet.
