“Hey [Name], I’m stepping up to take on a charity challenge event to help save the Sumatran orangutan. Their rainforest habitat is facing massive pressure, and I’ve set a goal to raise funds to help push them back from the brink. Will you back me and donate to my page? Every pound supports the work of frontline rescue teams. Here is my link: [Insert Link]”

For me, the fact that I'm only in year 8 has not affected my love of orangutans and fundraising. I think that most people my age don't realise how easy it is to get involved with charities like SOS. Fundraising for SOS has been an amazing experience because I know what incredible work they do. I think it's really important for the next generation to find out about conservation because in the end, we're going to be the generation who has the power to destroy or save the earth.
