Lonely Planet and i to i Volunteering are giving away a trip for two (winner and a guest) to Java to care for orangutans at Yogyakarta’s Wildlife Rescue Center.
This is an interesting contest to come across as I am writing this post in Bali, just a little over an hour away from Java by plane. I seriously considered a quick visit to Java but due to traveling with an infant it was a bit much to do.
The Prize:
  • Two places on the “Orangutans and Community Education in Java” tour- operated by i to i. Find out details about this tour HERE.
  • Up to AU$1500 to be used towards the purchase of economy airfare to Java. The winner and guest will be responsible for any costs over this amount. 

Some Details:

Travel must be completed by September 30, 2013
Must be 18 years of age or older to enter
My favorite rule: You can not enter if you have a criminal record, the nature of which inhibits overseas travel
