Add orange to your life on Wednesday 16th November
Next week is Orangutan Caring Week. It runs from 13th to 19th November in 2022.
The aim is to raise awareness of the challenges orangutans and their rainforest home are facing. And to help people take part, there is one very easy activity we can all do on #Orange for Orangutan Day ©. And that is to add orange to your life on the 16th November!
On the 16th November, please #GoOrange
The idea is that we all make a big ORANGE SPLASH on the day by finding anything orange to wear to raise awareness and funds for the critically endangered orangutan.
The Orangutan Foundation has an INFORMATION PACK you can download and a POSTER you can put up.
You could also do a cake sale, have an orangutan themed tea party, dress in orange, eat baked beans – and go on social media with the hashtags
#OrangutanCaringWeek
#OCW
#OrangeforOrangutanDay
#GoOrange.
This is a great chance to have a bit of fun and raise awareness of the orangutan.
