HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A SPECIAL THANK YOU GOES OUT TO EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE CHIMPS AND SUPPORTED THE GREAT APE PROTECTION ACT THIS YEAR!!!

Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to let you know about stuff I have been doing. It has been a year since I started fundraising for the chimps and speaking out for them.

I was hoping that The Great Ape Protection Act would have been passed. I have been learning about bills and how laws get passed and I think that it takes too long. I hate that chimpanzees have been suffering so long. If you haven’t Taken Action yet for the Great Ape Protection Act PLEASE DO!!!!!!

  





The Humane Society of the United States has a campaign "Chimps Deserve Better" and you can go there and learn about what is happening to the chimps and how you can help.  This is really important and please send the link below to your friends.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS!!!

I know lots of you that follow me on facebook and twitter know that I got to go to Connecticut to the Roots & Shoots summit and hear Dr. Jane Goodall speak. That was the best! I already knew a lot about Dr. Jane and David Grey Beard. But it was really nice to see her and hear the stories again. Better than YouTube. If you get the chance to hear her speak you should really go. She is so nice and does lots of things for the chimps and all animals.

I am still fundraising for Save the Chimps and I am hoping that all the chimps will be moved soon to one of the islands. These chimps deserve to be able to run and play on one of the islands. I think it is really cool that they can lay in the grass or sleep under the stars if they want to. If you would like to make a donation please click on the link http://www.firstgiving.com/migrateboy to go to my firstgiving page.

Thanks & Happy New Year!

LET'S MAKE 2011 THE BEST YEAR FOR THE CHIMPS

&

ALL GREAT APES!!!

I REACHED MY FIRST GOAL!!!

Hi Everybody!

For those that haven't seen yet. We did it!!! Thanks to everyone who supported Make a Chimp Smile we raised $2500 to migrate a chimp. Save the Chimps Sanctuary will be announcing it soon. I will post it too!
I am really happy and everyone was so nice that donated. I couldn't have done it without everyone helping me spread the word.

I started this blog last December to migrate a chimp name Boy to Save the Chimps. He was lucky enough to be migrated before I raised enough money. Now he is able to spend the rest of his life being free on his island. If he wants to he can sleep under the stars. Or he can climb to the top of a platform and lay in the sun. He is getting good food to eat, breathing fresh air and spending time with his family. I can't wait for the new chimp to get there!

I have raised my goal up another $2500 to migrate another chimp. I have lots of ideas on new fundraisers so I will let you know when I post them. I will also put them up on the Make a Chimp Smile facebook group and twitter page.

There are still 60 more chimps that need to be migrated from New Mexico to Florida. I am so happy that Save the Chimps was able to rescue them from The Coulston Foundation. I am hoping more people will learn about what these chimps went through and want to help migrate them to one of the islands at Save the Chimps Sanctuary.

Thanks for visiting my blog! Come back Soon!

your chimp friend,

Brandon
