I wanna be a volunteer...
Very early on I wondered if I'd be able to work at an Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre (well, doesn't everyone??!!).
Why? Well after visiting Borneo for an adventure a few years back I was really impressed with the setup at Sepilok and promised myself if i ever got the chance i'd try to go back and work there for a while.

I soon found out that only one company places volunteers there. http://www.travellersworldwide.com/11-malaysia/11-malaysia-orangutans.htm
I rang them up, it all sounded great until they said
"...but we don't have any places available until April 2007".
Aaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm totally gutted. I can't wait that long. I have no idea where i'll be or what i'll be doing by then.
No, I need to do something now.
