  Hi,I am looking for individual or club donations towards a couple of RAGES Projects. Would your club be interested to support RAGES and the Elephants at Sepilok, Borneo?
These are the RAGES 2017/18 projects that i’m hoping to fund raise and apply for funding towards.
1. A 3-tier Reinforced cable fenced enclosure.
The total cost for the fencing is about $6000NZD in todays currency exchange. A really affordable project that touches your heart allowing critically endangered species to roam and be a herd learning from each other. A viewing platform will be installed and allow Vets, Rangers and visitors to observe the elephants safely
I would consider planning another cocktail evening with auctions at the Dowse like i did for the Ethiopia project in 2015. We raised $8,000 that night.
The easiest option being 6 clubs contributing a $1000NZD each without the need to apply for funding or an alternative share of the cost between clubs.
2. A purchase of Fonterra Milk Powder to feed five Elephants for 12 months. Cost $20,000
I am in early discussions with Sime Darby, Malaysia regarding the cost of another large Fonterra milk powder purchase. The current stock runs out on the 1st July 2017.
The Sepilok Elephants and Fonterra Milk Powder purchase through RAGES will be featured in the Rotarian Magazine in June 2017. Thank you for your continued support.
