Orangutan Outreach Europe

ORANGUTAN OUTREACH is branching out!

We are honored and thrilled to introduce the official representative of Orangutan Outreach Europe, Ms. Asli Han Gedik.

Asli has been an animal rights activist for many years in both her native Turkey and in Germany where she currently lives and works. She has focused much of her conservation efforts in Africa working with big cats and elephants, but she is now ready for the challenge of working to save orangutans in their native habitat.

Asli is a longtime supporter and loyal friend of Orangutan Outreach. She has adopted orangutans and done fundraising for us on Facebook. She is constantly spreading the word throughout her extensive social networks-- online and off! You can learn more about Asli here.

For a year now, Asli has been asking what more she can do for the orangutans... She brings so much to the table. Her professional experience in banking and finance and her dedication to animal rights are a lethal combination. When she puts her mind to something, she is committed to seeing it through. She is highly respected in the international business community and will be able to open new doors for us to generate support for orangutan conservation. Besides Turkish, Asli speaks English, Dutch, French and some Spanish-- making her an ideal representative for Orangutan Outreach in Europe.

"I look forward to helping these beautiful creatures and protecting their forests in a world that doesn't seem to have room for them," says Asli. We are excited that Asli has offered her time and energy to benefit the orangutans. This will be a win-win-win... for us, for Asli and especially for the orangutans who we have sworn to protect.

In coming weeks, Orangutan Outreach will be launching several new campaigns with our O-Team partners. Asli will be our point person in Europe. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Thanks for your support!  {:(|}
