2. Taking inspiration from orangutans that never fall, will you pray for success in your exams?

Orangutans are arboreal animals. They cling tightly to trees and never fall. Taking inspiration from the orangutans' ability to stay in the trees, we will set up a special good luck booth in front of the orangutan enclosure where you can write your wishes, such as success in exams, on votive tablets or special paper and tie them up.
