We need a little bit of help Please help us bring a bit more of warmth to their lives. The chimpanzees' heating system is obsolete, but we can't face the renovation expenses alone. Please help us with a small donation. It seems that this winter has finally come to an end. A winter that we will all remember for its numerous cold spells. Within the last 11 years since the foundation of our Primate Rescue Centre, we cannot remember any year during which the chimpanzees had to stay inside so many days because of the cold instead of enjoying the outside enclosures. And neither did we ever have such an extremely high heating bill until now! As you already know, we are trying our utmost to provide our fosterlings with the best quality of life possible. However, our installations and facilities are growing older by the year and some things need to be updated and renovated to be able to maintain the wellbeing of our rescued primates. One of the most important elements that needs to be replaced by a more efficient and economical system is the heating of the dormitories. Just this week we started the construction work for a new floor heating system which will be much better and more comfortable for the chimpanzees and will also be more economical over time. Even though we managed to get it for a reasonable price (the costs will exceed £10,000/ 12.000 €), we see ourselves obligated to ask for a small one time contribution from everyone. Naturally we are aware of these being difficult times for many people, and of course we would prefer not to have to ask for extra help, but we are also in a situation that demands additional support. If you think you can help us this one time with a small donation, these are the posible options:
We hope that you can help us with a small donation. Everything counts, 4, 6, 10€ … whatever you can afford, and like this, little by little, we’ll be able to face the bills with everyone’s help. Thank you very much in advance! |

Need a gift idea? Give a Charity Pot! Lush Cosmetics has chosen the Mona Foundation as one of the beneficiaries of its Charity Pot sales in Spain. Up to April 2010, every penny you pay for the cream (excluding VAT) will be given to our rescue center. What is Charity Pot? It is a hydrating cream made from ultra-softening, fair-traded cocoa butter and almond oil. One of the basic values of the company is to not test cosmetics on animals and they devote lots of time and money to raising awareness and cooperating with associations across the world that defend animal protection. Among other things, they have changed their soap base for a pound of palm oil in an attempt to contribute to decrease deforestation, which is impinging upon the habitat of orangutans. The Lush chain has shops in Barcelona, Cantabria, Madrid, and Málaga. And you may also buy your Charity Pot online at www.lush.es or by placing an order at pedidos@lush.es - 91-522.40.11 |

RECYCLE YOUR MOBILE PHONE A couple of years ago, we began a campaign to collect and recycle mobile phones. These phones, which we all have stashed away in drawers around the house, may be transformed into help for Mona primates, since each recycled mobile will be exchanged for a donation. And that is not all: our action will have a broader repercussion. By recycling our old mobiles, we will be contributing to the re-use of coltan, an alloy used in the batteries of these devices and other electrical appliances, which is obtained by mining in areas inhabited by mountain gorillas. In recent years, the demand for coltan has drastically reduced the habitat of these severely endangered primates. So, if you or your friends have a mobile lying around the house, you can bring it to Mona, where we will be happy to collect them. You may also send it free of charge by using this label |
Recycle your old mobile!
