All About Sparky:
Name: Sparky
Date of Birth: May 16, 2010
About Me: Sparky is a very unique little monkey... He loves the shock of sticking his paws in electrical sockets! Sometimes, he licks his paws first and THEN sticks them in the electrical socket to get a more powerful buzz. He says it makes his fur stand up and gives his paws a funny feeling! We suspect that exposure to all that electricity has intensified his gray coloring to a more charred shade, but he says the electricity just makes his eyes sparkle more!

Princess Lokelani ("Rose") was placed placed in Normal, Illinois on 4/10/10 for a placement fee of $100.
All About PRINCESS LOKELANI:
Name: Rose
Date of Arrival: April 7, 2010
Petite little Rose is a lost princess. Her true name is Princess Lokelani, but she goes by Rose since leaving the Pacific Island of her birth. She was separated from her sock family under tragic circumstances. After she has grown up and received a thorough education, it is possible that she might choose to return to the small uncharted Pacific Island of her birth to ascend to the throne.
Rose prefers to be pampered. She has ALWAYS wanted a dog of her own and hopes her new family will have a puppy. (Black is her favorite color of dog, but she is flexible!)
(Princess Lokelani was named after Maui’s official flower, the pink lokelani (Rosa damascena), or pink cottage rose. This flower, like the princess named for it, was a transplant, brought to the Islands in the 1800s. The lokelani is the only non-native plant to be recognized as the official flower of any of the Hawaiian islands.)
Agent Mokihana was placed in Normal, Illinois on 4/10/10 for a placement fee of $100.
All About Monkey Agent Mokihana:
Name: Mokihana
Occupation: Secret Service Agent
Date of Arrival: April 8, 2010
Mokihana is the secret service agent assigned to protect Princess Lokelani, so Mokihana will only agree to go to the home that Princess Lokelani is placed in. (In fact, she will INSIST upon going to the home that Princess Lokelani is placed in!)
Mokihana traveled to France early in her career, where she received training in espionage. She apprenticed in Japan under a world renowned martial arts expert. She also spent considerable time in Germany where she honed her expertise in foreign languages. She is fluent in English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and numerous Pacific Island native languages.
Regardless of her expansive linguistic knowledge, Mokihana's favorite phrases remain, "Tuck and Roll!" and "Serpentine! Serpentine! Serpentine!" She is a bit of an adrenaline junky. She is stealthy and approaches problems with the no-nonsense ingenuity of a MacGiver. On a personal note, she detests snakes. (Her uncle on her mother's side, a rather inquisitive monkey, was once bitten on the nose by a rather irritable snake--resulting in quite a nasty infection and leaving a permanent scar.) Mokihana would not do well in a home that has any pet snakes. She has been known in the past to reflexively snatch unsuspecting snakes up by the tips of their tails and hurls them into the stratosphere.

Other Ways You Can Help Out:
(purchasing a photography session)
(donating medical equipment)
If you would like to help out, but don't have room for a monkey in your family, you might be interested in our other fundraiser...outdoor portraits of pets or children:
$50 for a CD containing 100 or more pictures that you can take to Wal-Mart and crop, edit, print for yourself...or...
$75 for a CD containing 100 or more pictures AND the photographer's favorite 20 photographs touched up and cropped to your preferred size for you to take to WalMart and have printed...or...
$100 for a CD containing 100 or more pictures with the photographer's favorite 20 photographs touched up, cropped, and printed.
Just e-mail Monica at DublinLin@hotmail.com
Also, the mission team is collecting donations of gently used medical equipment (such as crutches, walkers, etc); used eye glasses; unopened packages of ibuprofen (motrin), loratidine (clariton), ranitidine (zantac), infant ibuprofen, infant acetaminophen (tylenol), prenatal vitamins, etc!
Other items which can be donated and would be greatly appreciated are small toys in large quantities that we can distribute at the orphanage we will be spending one of our days at. The biggest hits last time the medical team was at the orphanage were the 83 cent flutes we had brought along and the small super bouncy balls! Last time we were able to give a toy to every child in the orphanage as they came through to have their teeth checked and receive treatment for intestinal parasites...the toys made the medicine worth taking and brought a smile to every face! (Last time we distributed toys to nearly 100 children, from toddler age through teenage.)
Another need is for durable picture books for use with the toddlers and young children. The toys must be small and the books light, as priority for packing space goes to medications.
We do not have to have 100 of any one item...it is good to have a variety...and to have things that can be appreciated by the teenagers and other things appropriate for the toddlers! So, if you would like to go shopping and pick up even just five or ten inexpensive, easily transportable items like super bouncy balls, jewelry, flutes, children's picture books etc, we would love to take your gift with us when we go to La Ciudad de Los Ninos orphanage.
If you have something you would be able to donate, please e-mail Monica at DublinLin@hotmail.com
THANKS!!!
