Last night I was lucky enough to spend an evening in the company not only of the great and the good of Orangutan conservation, but also of Indonesia’s award-winning Parahyangan choir whose enigmatic singing and dancing had the specially invited audience giving a standing ovation at the end. The event was a joint fund-raising evening in conjunction with the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia and the Orangutan Foundation UK to highlight the plight of Asia’s only Great Ape. Money was raised through a variety of raffle tickets, the main prize for which is a place on our pioneering Orangutan Conservation Tour in 2011, designed to take you behind the scenes of the work the Orangutan Foundation are doing in Borneo and to meet the apes themselves. The evening was the first of a number of events scheduled to take place throughout the year to celebrate the Orangutan Foundations 20th Anniversary taking place this year. However, this successful launch date brought together a wonderful mix of Indonesian food, culture and wildlife and allowed us the chance to indulge our passion for all things Indonesian!
