New facilities thanks to YOUR generosity !

Hi Eveyone,

Since early January, we have had very busy weeks at J.A.C.K. as two new enclosures have been built in order to improve the accomodation of the baby chimp group and to extend the night facilities of our main group.

J.A.C.K. had to build more facilities and to improve the former ones

In December, many of you made donations to help us in building new facilities. Remember, 6 chimps in 6 weeks

USD 1,665 were donated last December by YOU, friends of J.A.C.K. on Wildlife Direct. With this money and the extra donation of other sponsors, J.A.C.K. has built a new enclosure for the infant group.

Which means that today, the 7 very little ones of our project can enjoy life in the open air enlosure AND have their own night facility.

The little ones were very surprised to discover their new territory…

A third enclosure for the main group has been added as well.

It was very important to build this additional night facility as some members of our main group are getting bigger AND stronger!

So, the chimps of J.A.C.K. and J.A.C.K. wishes to thank YOU, donors on Wildlifedirect, but also the Pan African Sanctuary Alliance (PASA) and its sponsors, the Sweden Chimpanzee Trust, le Parc Zoologique de St Martin-la-Plaine, tous les membres et parrains de Little Jak Association, Kitty and her family + friends, le Zoo de la Palmyre, BELL Equipment Congo  for your extremely kind generosity.

Merci à vous tous pour vos dons qui ont été utilisés à bon escient puisque les aménagements et constructions sur le site de J.A.C.K. ont pu se faire. Votre aide nous est précieuse et nous avons besoin de vous pour faire la différence.

 A 4th night enclosure has been started but couldn’t be finished as we still need money to continue building. Winter is coming and extra walls must be added to the different enclosures as to protect the orphans from the wind and the cold.

J.A.C.K. is an NGO and can’t work without your donations. So, please, remember, we need you to make the difference in this forgotten place of Africa!
 
 
 
Thank you for THEM!
Merci pour EUX!

    I am so happy for the babies! They now have their own space to play and sleep. It looks wonderful. You have given so many a warm, loving home. Thank you for that! Hugs to you all!!!
