How MiniMonos kids are creating positive change

At MiniMonos we have always had the goal to give back to those who are not as lucky as we are.

Two days ago we launched our premium subscriptions and our leadership moderation program.  The general tone of the kids' conversation for the first day, was "Wow!  Look what I got!" and  "Cool! Look at me now!"  The MoniMonos team were also full of excitement about the kids' positive responses and the fact that they want to engage so deeply with us now, they are now co-writing our kids' blog!

After much back-patting to our team and kids, on Tuesday we decided to shift the focus off ourselves, and back onto the reason we created MiniMonos.  It's important to us that our MiniMonos kids recognise how to look after the planet we live on and help others who are affected by climate change.  Even in our testing phase, we have been donating to kids in need.

So as promised, our MiniMonos subscriptions will always give back.  For every six-month Top Banana Gold membership purchased, you and your child will cause a week's worth of clean drinking water for a child in India.  We do this through our partnership with Buy1Give1.  Buy1Give1 give the entire donation to an organisation called Bird India, which supplies clean water for these kids.

Our MiniMonos community will also save the life of an orangutan baby by adopting it!  Shortly, when we reach 50 Top Banana Gold memberships, we will adopt an orphan for a year.  This is an at-risk orangutan baby whose rainforest has been burnt down to make room for palm oil tree plantations -- the process devastating both for the environment and the orangutan population.

We're really looking forward to this wonderful opportunity to discuss with kids the effect of deforestation and how we can help. Through Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOT) we'll also be sharing reports of our MiniMonos orangutan as he or she grows up.

Here's what one of the MiniMonos kids had to say about giving back to those in need:

...thank you everyone for all you guys have done on MiniMonos and put the time and your heart in the game to make it the best it can be for everyone along with helping unfortunate kids in India and to give them hope!...I love the whole clean water supply for kids in India and can't wait to see the adopted orangutan baby! ^.^ Keep the bananas rockin' hehehe! :P
