THE ‘WAY BACK HOME’ BOAT IS BADLY BROKEN
The APE Defender Team has tried to survive with a leaky boat for the past 4 months. Various efforts have been made. We were patching it with adhesive glue and cloth, but the leakage appears again at the other parts.
The boat is almost two years old now. With high usage around the orangutan island, we strongly need a new boat soon. “At midnight, we also have to check the island. It is exhausting to frequently check the water that enters the boat. If we did not remove the water from the boat, the boat will sink with the engine” said Daniel, who is in charge of all vehicles at the COP Borneo orangutan rehabilitation center.
The ‘Way Back Home’ boat is the operational vehicle for the COP Borneo orangutan island. The boat is purchased from the benefits of Sound For Orangutan music charity or often called SFO. It is the greatest gift from the hard work of Orangufriends, COP support group. This music charity will also be held on Monday, October 29, 2018 in Yogyakarta. (IND)
PERAHU ‘WAY BACK HOME’ RUSAK PARAH
Tim APE Defender mencoba bertahan dengan perahu yang bocor selama 4 bulan terakhir ini. Berbagai upaya sudah dilakukan, mulai dari menambalnya dengan lem perekat dan kain, namun muncul lagi kebocoran di bagian yang lain.
Usia perahu yang hampir dua tahun ini dengan penggunaan yang tinggi di sekitar pulau orangutan menuntut untuk segera ada perahu baru lagi. “Saat tengah malam, kami pun harus mengecek keberadaan pulau, karena kalau tidak dicek dengan menguras air yang masuk ke dalam perahu, perahu akan tenggelam bersama mesin perahu..”, ujar Daniel, penanggung jawab kendaraan di pusat rehabilitasi orangutan COP Borneo.
Perahu ‘Way Back Home’ adalah kendaraan operasional pulau orangutan COP Borneo. Perahu yang dibeli dari keuntungan acara musik amal Sound For Orangutan atau sering disebut juga SFO merupakan kerja keras orangufriends, kelompok pendukung COP. Acara musik ini pun akan digelar Senin, 29 Oktober 2018 di Yogyakarta.
