Last days: Camp Rassaw

We can feel that the paradise time is coming to end. There’s just one week to say good bye to this amazing place, to this VERY NICE PEOPLE I’ve meet here.
Now we have the great pleasure of being working in a place that not a lot of people can see. We are on a place called “Camp Rasak” Tourism are not allowed here and is one of the places where Orangutan Foundation releases orangutans from the “Care Center” that I’ve visited a couple of weeks before. Here there are two buildings that other groups of volunteers builded before me, but now they realized that the kitchen was too small and we’ve come here to make a new one. It’s an easy job (looks easy… at the moment…) but the best thing is that we have a lot of time to walk, swim on the river (Indonesian people says that there’s no crocodiles here) and enjoy the moments that the orangutans give us. There’s maybe 15 or 20 orangutans that a few years ago were on the care center, and when they become enough all to be able to “walk alone”, they were released here. They still need the human contact (we are like her mothers…) and hopefully during the next months or the next years they will be enough self confident to live by their own on the jungle. Now, is usual to see one of them walking to you and sit at your side, or trying to climb at your shoulders to you to carry it to another place… that’s great. It’s good to see that an orangutan that once was orphan and provably will die in a few days, thanks to Orangutan Foundation now is still alive and climbing the trees. Hopefully in a 2 or 3 generations the “new babies” will have forget that once her grand mother was killed for human people…
Well… after this boring history, I hope you’ll enjoy the pictures. Here you’ll see just a small part of my great feelings here, but if you want to feel something similar, I’ll tell you how to do it. It’s easy and very nice. Amazing.

Next week will be the last. Normally the last week of the volunteer program, people go to Camp Leakey again, but this year will not be possible. Fortunately, we will be able to stay here all this week, so will be like Camp Leakey but in another place. I hope to take a good pictures!!! I’ll show it to you!

Bye
