News from England?

Hi Students of Mr Seaton,
What you have been doing for the orangutans? We'd love to get some news from you!

The Birdwood High school assembly

Hi Students and Richard,
Three of our students, Allie, Yolanda and Chelsea stood up in front of the whole school last week, and did short presentations about the problem that palm oil plantations are causing orangutans, the Borneo Orangutan Survival rescue centre and our Orang-u-Friends membership of BOSF Australia. We also showed a selection of photos that we found on Google Images, lots of different faces showing different emotions.
It was interesting that World Vision's 40 Hour Famine was also being promoted at the same assembly, just before us, with a very emotive video shown about the suffering being experienced by children in Laos.
So it was with a small degree of uncertainty that we launched into our presentation about orangutans. I explained that we very much endorse the work of World Vision, but that the orangutans are very important also. This world is their home too.
Until next time,
Lynton Vonow
