Primate Update E-Newsletter, Vol. 3, Issue 2, Part 2



WHAT’S HAPPENING at PPS?

Spider Monkey Enclosures:
A Fichus branch reaches
skyward in the new
Spider Monkey Enclosures!
Construction of the new Spider Monkey Enclosures has been progressing quickly. The cement foundation has been poured, one of the round enclosures is up, the middle room has been completed and beautiful Fichus climbing branches are in. We have also finished the safety room, which creates a double-door entrance system.

The new enclosures will be 40 feet long, and will soon be planted with fruit and nut trees, vines and flowers. Carlos and Montana will finally be able to brachiate through the trees!

Long time donors and friends of Pacific Primate Sanctuary have made significant contributions towards the construction of the Spider Monkey facility. However, we still need another $3,500 to complete this project. Generosity and compassion are the stuff miracles are made of— please become one of the Sanctuary’s Miracle Workers.

Spider Monkey Enclosures, partially completed!


MORE WAYS TO HELP THE MONKEYS

GoodShop and GoodSearch
GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Select Pacific Primate Sanctuary as your charity of choice. Then use GoodSearch just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up!

Use GoodShop.com for all your online shopping needs. After designating Pacific Primate Sanctuary as your nonprofit of choice, you can shop at more than 900 top online retailers and a percentage of your purchases will automatically be donated to the Sanctuary! For example: if you shop on eBay using Goodshop.com, 25-35% of eBay revenue will be donated to PPS! GoodShop also provides many valuable coupons to use towards your purchases. When you select a store, you will automatically be redirected to a coupon page for that store.

Rescue Fund
A Rescue Fund will allow us to provide refuge for at risk animals needing to be brought to the Sanctuary immediately. Laboratories and pet owners often have deadlines for placement and may not contribute to the costs involved in getting the animal to Pacific Primate Sanctuary or provide for their housing and care. Your contributions will allow us to reach out to these monkeys and bring them to this safe haven. If you would like to donate to the Rescue Fund please make a tax-deductible donation at the sites above.

Sponsor an Intern!
We have had several people interested in the PPS internship position who are unable to afford the cost of travelling to Maui and volunteering for a year.  The Sanctuary provides housing and an orchard and organic vegetable garden for our Resident Interns, however we do not have the funds to fly qualified students to Maui or to provide a stipend. If you are interested in sponsoring an Intern by purchasing airline tickets, donating Airline Miles, or providing a monthly stipend for our Resident Interns please contact us at pps@aloha.net.

How to Donate Directly
We rely upon your continued contributions. Please encourage your friends and relatives to make tax-deductible donations to the Sanctuary.
