Adoption Time!!

Now is exciting time MiniMonos' staff are going to adopt a baby orangutan thanks to the 50 memberships that were purchase by us monkeys on the Island! :D However, first the staff needs OUR help between two baby orangutan, Monti Or Kesi. So first check out the full post and vote, vote, vote!! ^.^

Hey Everymonkey! 

Remember how we said we'd adopt a baby orangutan for our whole MiniMonos community if we reached our First 50 Top Banana Gold memberships?

Well now is the time for us to choose who we want to adopt!

After doing some more research we have now decided to support Orangutan Outreach to adopt our baby, for the following reasons:

• Orangutan Outreach support lots of orangutan adoption organizations so we can find out heaps from them about what is happening around the world with orangutan rescues
• They like to keep the adoption process green by handling it all online.  No paper, no envelopes, no cardboard adoption certificate.  More money for the orangutans and less waste! 
• We will get updates about our adopted baby several times a year, with photos and maybe even a video!
• Orangutan Outreach give lots of information about what we can do to help save rainforests.  We want to talk with you more about that and what we can do!

So we have 2 gorgeous orangutan babies to choose from!  Although our donation goes to the chosen orangutan we want to adopt, it also gets shared with other orangutans in the nursery or forest school she belongs to.  We think that it's great that our donation is shared with our baby's adopted brothers and sisters!

Here are the 2 orangutans for us to decide on:
Monti
At only about 6 months old, Monti is the smallest orangutan of the dozen now living at the West Kalimantan rescue center in Ketapang, Indonesia.  She was brought to the center after an anonymous caller contacted the local Ketapang forestry officers and told them some rural people had found her all alone in the jungle, but the truth is something different. She wasn't 'found' in the jungle.  She was kidnapped!







Kesi

Kesi had her hand chopped off when plantation workers killed her mother with a machete. Now she is older, and the top pupil in Orangutan Forest School at Nyaru Menteng. Champion tree-climbing and nest-builder, Kesi is an excellent role model for newly arrived orphans.








So now it's time for us all to choose!

I'm having a hard time to decide since both are adorable and cuddly to me. And they each have their own hardship as an orphan too! However, whoever ends up getting adopted is still great and I'm sure the other one would have a chance of adoption by some other great people sooner or later too! :) So how about you monkeys?? Do yo know who you voting for, maybe comment below and you might even help me and others with our decisions. So explanations why you vote for one orangutan over the other one is greatly appreciated guys! ^.^

Going Green Monkey!!

Hey monkeys! About a week and half ago, I had a Going Green Contest Giveaway and it ended two days ago. The prize being a Six-Month Membership with a reserve spot as one of the first Top Gold Banana Monkeys and the special items!! :D We had lots of great entries, so it was really hard to decide but finally came up with the winning entry! ^.^ So lets give a big shout-out to the winning monkey with lots of jumping monkeys, hehehe. :P

Congratulation to Tawny!!

It started out with 3 judges, Porsche, Limey, and I, but then it ended up with 4-5 judges instead until we finally decided on the winning entry base on the theme "Going Green", creativity, and hardwork! :) Thank you for all the monkeys who have entered and we have created a MiniMonos Fan Art page with all the entries on there for a start, which you can get to on the left sidebar of our blog! ^^ Congrats again Tawny and once you become a Top Gold Monkey, you will be inform so please comment with your email to be contacted with, thanks!! :D

MiniMonos' First 50 Honor Roll Monkeys!

Kaila just recently posted about an awesome addition place on GoBanana's sidebar in Honor for the First 50 monkeys to become a Top Gold Banana monkey!! ^.^ MiniMonos are really close to reaching 50 and can't wait for it! :D Now check out the original post by Kaila:

Hi Monkeys! I hope you're having a bananalicious day! 

As you know, we've just this week introduced Top Banana Gold memberships! The monkeys who have become Gold have gotten some exciting special features -- like a gold icon next to their name and some special items for their treehouses.

And, because you play on MiniMonos, you know that MiniMonos monkeys love to have a great time, but we also love to help others and be kind to our planet! So for every six-month membership, you allow a child in India to get a week's worth of clean water, and when we reach 50 Gold monkeys, the MiniMonos community is adopting a baby orangutan for a whole year! We're pretty close, too -- only 19 monkeys to go!

That's going to be a lot of fun for all of us, because we'll be able to see pictures of the orangutan and get updates on how he or she is doing! But we also want to recognize those first 50 Gold monkeys, the ones who are making it happen.

So we're adding the MiniMonos First 50 honor roll to the blog sidebar, with the names of the first 50 monkeys to become Gold. If you're a Gold monkey and have a blog, we can also link your name to your blog. You'll also see a separate list of MiniMonos staff kids -- we thought it would be fairer for these to be listed separately from the First 50.

I can't guarantee that the First 50 honor roll will always be on the blog sidebar, because we change the site around so often! But I can guarantee that the MiniMonos First 50 honor roll will always exist on the site, because you were the very first ones to lead the way for all the other monkeys to come, and we think that's pretty special.

Of course, if you don't want your monkey name on the list, that's no problem -- just let me know and I'll make sure to take you off.

Thanks so much to everymonkey for making MiniMonos awesome and for being so much fun to hang out with! You make every day great for us.

Best bananas,
Kaila

So right now we are about 19 monkeys away from reaching the First 50 or maybe even less!! :D Can't wait for all 50 and then the adoption of a baby orangutan!! ^.^
