WHAT’S HAPPENING at PPS 

Food Donations

We wish to express our sincere appreciation to Down to Earth and Whole Foods Marketplace, two very generous stores here on Maui. Every week, compassionate employees set aside food for us, including fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, granola, yogurt, and an assortment of treats we could not afford to buy. PPS Volunteers eagerly anticipate Wednesdays, when we go to these two stores to find a bounty of delicious foods, ready to take back to the monkeys. The delighted trills of all the monkeys confirm their excitement at receiving their favorite foods.

Thank you Down to Earth and Whole Foods Marketplace! 

HOW YOU CAN HELP THE MONKEYS

Spread the Word
One of the easiest ways for you to support the monkeys at Pacific Primate Sanctuary is by sharing information about our refuge with others. Pass this E-Newsletter on to your family and friends and encourage them to “Like” us on Facebook— http://www.facebook.com/PacificPrimateSanctuary. 

Looking for a worthwhile gift idea for Father’s Day? You can make a donation in honor of your Dad and we will send him a beautiful Contribution Certificate to commemorate your gift. Just send your donation, along with the name and contact information for the person you wish to receive the certificate. Contribution Certificates make wonderful gifts for any special occasion.

 The support of compassionate people is what keeps our good work going. Please choose this meaningful gift so that we can continue to protect and conserve the beings with whom we share the Earth.

PPS INTERNSHIP 

 Pacific Primate Sanctuary’s immersion Internship began 8 years ago, and it is very gratifying to see how the program has grown and deepened. This year we have had many exceptional, well-qualified Intern Applicants. Lucy and Erin have been busy in the office, reading through application material, conducting Skype Interviews, and consulting with senior staff to choose our new Interns. Thank you to our amazing donors who help to fund this program, and to our many outstanding applicants. You are a testament to Pacific Primate Sanctuary’s unique resident Internship experience!

Stephanie was selected as our June 2012-2013 Intern. She will be arriving on June 6th; just one day after Intern Linda heads off to Vet School. Stephanie has a degree in Anthropology with a focus on Primate Behavior, and has spent time studying Chimpanzee behavior at the St. Louis Zoo.

 We are very pleased to have Stephanie join the PPS Team!
