Affiliated Charities

Business organizations have to always remember that, whilst being financially successful is a necessary priority, they also have a duty to their customers and to the wider community to be considerate, fair and at times charitable.

The expression 'Cause Related Marketing' is used today by many organizations which firmly believe that the way in which they conduct their business activities reflects well on them in the long-term and profitable benefit of both them and their customers.

D3 Direct has, for many years, been in the forefront of cause marketing and can point to its own growth and success due to its application, not least in the support and promotion of a very special item of cause marketing , 'A Child Unheard', an international charity which fits very neatly into the company's own world-wide logistics activities and also alongside the hugely popular and successful Comic Relief in which D3 Direct had a direct involvement.

D3 Direct's knowledge of Global Logistic's and experience supported and funded the consolidation and shipping of support material for the Borneo Orangutan Survival UK charity direct to Borneo.

A Child Unheard Mission

A Child Unheard is a book written and published by the author David Russell. It is the first book in the series to be published. A further five books have been written by David Russell and will be published in the near future. The first book in the series, A Child Unheard is a collection of highly charged and emotional poems based on the authors personal experiences and is divided into six sections

* Solitude
* Freedom
* Time
* Pain and Healing
* Self-discovery and Relationships

A Child Unheard is more than just a series of books, it is the inspiration for the charity, A Child Unheard. The charity owns all IPR, copyrights and trademarks for its work.

The long term objective of the charity is to generate sufficient revenue from the following

1. Music tracks
2. Gift cards
3. Promotional Merchandise

There are also detailed concepts for TV & stage shows.

The ultimate objective is to use the proceeds to open A Child Unheard centres throughout the world.

The centers will provide a safe and caring environment for children and adults who may have experienced troubled childhoods and consequent conditions which may have stemmed from their past. The centers will provide somewhere to find solace, comfort and a new found hope for their future and long term happiness. Importantly, the centers will allow children and adults to develop an inner healing.

March 2008 was a fantastic milestone for A Child Unheard. It marked the opening of the first A Child Unheard centre in Mityana, Uganda. There is more information about the first A Child Unheard centre in Uganda on this website.

Borneo Orangutan Survival UK

www.savetheorangutan.co.uk

The Borneo Orangutan Survival (BOS) Foundation is the largest primate rescue project in the world, with nearly 1000 orangutans in its care. BOS is the only organisation actively rescuing wild orangutans from oil-palm plantations, as well as rehabilitating orphaned orangutans, displaced as a result of the relentless devastation of their habitat to clear land for palm oil production. BOS is committed to protecting the orangutan and its rainforest habitat, and relies entirely on donations to achieve this.

Who are we?

We are the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, a charity dedicated to saving the orangutan from extinction and protecting its rainforest home.

 

What do we do?

We are responsible for the rescue and rehabilitation of hundreds of wild and orphaned orangutans, who have been displaced by the relentless devastation of their rainforest home for palm oil production. If these young orangutans are not killed, they are sold into the illegal pet trade.

 

Why do we do it?

We do it because of the faces you see on this page. These are the innocent victims. They have lost their mothers, their homes and their resources. Kesi even lost her hand clinging to her mother as she was slaughtered with a machete. But thanks to the efforts of BOS, she is safe, loved and a champion tree climber!!
