JUNGLE VOICES
Friends and volunteers of Jungle Friends speak out
 Amanda, Volunteer
You don't have to be an ardent animal lover to enjoy volunteering at Jungle
Friends. What is most important is respect to all living creatures, and
their rights to freedom and undisturbed habitat; rights that are so often
thoughtlessly revoked by people who feel their needs are superior. (Ofcourse,
it is also important not to mind getting up early, getting dirty and shoveling
monkey poop).
A volunteer who frequented the bookstore where I work introduced me to Jungle
Friends. My boyfriend, an animal lover, immediately became a regular
volunteer there. Soon he began spending most of his spare time at Jungle
Friends and I had to start going along just to spend time with him. However,
soon I started to look forward to going. The place really grows on you- the
screeches and hoots the monkeys make when they see someone arriving, the
excitement and affection of your favorites when you give them a good arm
scratch, even the ones who persistently plot to pull your hair grow on you.
The atmosphere and attitude of the people make a tremendous contribution to
Jungle friends as well. Kari, the founder, feeds the monkeys better than she
feeds herself, fresh fruits, vegetables, hot cereal, monkey biscuits, and
forage every day. The volunteers sacrifice a few extra hours of sleep, to begin
their day by scrubbing and raking cages, never with any complaints. For
everyone at Jungle Friends, the monkeys are always first.
It's inspiring to see so many people with the most sincere and unselfish
concern for these monkeys. If more people cared half as much as the people at
Jungle Friends, maybe more animals would get the rights to freedom and
habitat protection they deserve.
Please help Jungle Friends today with your tax deductible contribution through Paypal.
Thank you for your continued support.
Lots of Monkey Love,
Kari and the Monks
