Young supporter Maya Lynch teaches classmates about orangutans
5th grader Maya Lynch is a proud adoptive parent of Lomon.
She loves orangutans so much that she recently did a school report on them.
Maya had to give a presentation in front of her whole class, and during the report, she says, “At least 3 of my 10 classmates cried when I told them about Lomon’s and Kesi’s past.”
Maya was born in Brooklyn in 1996 and moved to San Francisco the next year.
She is the proud caretaker of two lovely cats, Patsy and Winston, as well as Lucy the Maltese.
Her love and understanding for all animals led her to the Orangutan Island TV show and the Orangutan Outreach sponsorship program.
By the way, Maya got an A!

Wow! What an amazing report! Great job!

Maya, what a good job you did! It is so important for us all to understand how amazing orangutans are. A very special woman, Magda, was kind enough to share her love of them with me when I was a teenager – she knew several orangs “Old Orange Man” herself, and loved them too. I’m glad you got an A! Good Job on the report!
