ISSUE 11 - FEBRUARY 2001 - PART 1 OF 3
Hello,
as promised JAB is earlier this month and we've worked
especially hard to introduce to you a wide range of new
employers. Show them what you can do for them and hopefully
you'll be whisked away from the cold and wet asap. As
an added bonus, in our first ever competition, we have
15 pairs of tickets to the ITW Show to give away (details
below).
JAB
is just a bit too big for Listbot's (the guys that enable
us to run the bulletin) boots this month so, at the last
minute, we've had to split it into three. New Jobs are
in Parts 1 & 2, while Part 3 features organisations
that have indicated to us they are still recruiting from
the last issue.
You
are receiving this newsletter because you asked for it.

SCOTLAND
VOLUNTARY
Volunteers needed to Restore the Caledonian Forest in
Scotland. Trees for Life is an award winning Scottish
charity working to restore the Caledonian Forest. The
Caledonian Forest of Scots pines, birch, rowan etc formerly
covered a much larger area and today only scattered fragments
of this forest remain. Trees for Life is helping to pioneer
the emerging discipline of ecological restoration, and
working to restore a wild native forest to the Scottish
Highlands.
The
majority of our practical work is done by volunteers who
join our work weeks in the Highlands every spring and
autumn. The dates for the 2001 work weeks have now been
published and we are again looking for people to participate
in ecological restoration work in the Scottish Highlands.
Volunteers form part of groups of up to 10 participants
and two experienced leaders. Weeks start every Saturday
from 17 March to 2 June and from 1 September to 20 October.
Work includes native tree planting, erecting stock fences
around riparian tree regeneration, tree nursery work,
fence removal and removing non-native conifers from where
these have been planted or have seeded into native woodland,
in Glen Affric, Glen Carron and Glen Moriston. We work
in cooperation with land owners in our target area, which
include the Forestry Commission and the RSPB (Royal Society
for the Protection of Birds - the UK's largest nature
conservation charity) as well as private land owners.
You do not need any special skills or qualifications to
participate, and because the work is often in remote areas
you need to be relatively fit but not exceptionally so
( we also run a Gentle Week in the spring).
The
weeks cost L65 Pounds Sterling (L33 Pounds Sterling concessionary

VOLUNTARY WORK
Voluntary Work at the Monkey Sanctuary. The Monkey Sanctuary
accepts applications for volunteer work from people of
all nationalities.
General
Information: The Monkey Sanctuary is home to a colony
of woolly monkeys, established in 1964 as a refuge for
ex-pet and ex-zoo woolly monkeys. The Sanctuary received
recognition as the first place where this beautiful species
of monkey bred outside its own habitat in the South American
rainforests. The Sanctuary is open to the public during
the summer months. The care of the monkeys is in the hands
of an experienced team of people. As a conservation and
educational unit run by a small community, the Sanctuary
attracts people of varied backgrounds and interests. The
Sanctuary team share concern for animal welfare, conservation
and global political issues. The Sanctuary is not a scientific
centre, rather, a community of people working to better
the captive life of the primate community here.
Volunteers:
Over the course of a year, the Sanctuary receives several
dozen people for voluntary work, with up to seven staying
at any one time. First time volunteers are booked in for
either two, three or four weeks. Sometimes placements
can be extended, depending on requirements at the time.
Usually a few people each year stay for longer periods,
often people who have volunteered before and wish to return.
Volunteers must be 18 years or older to stay in the house.
Younger volunteers are accepted, but have to arrange their
own accommodation. Volunteers need a workable knowledge
of the English language. No qualifications are needed
- volunteers usually come because they share a concern
for animal welfare, conservation and the need to question
people's attitude to other animals.
Voluntary
Work: All year - Volunteers join the Sanctuary team in
cleaning monkey territory, preparing monkey food, domestic
help, gardening, street collecting and general maintenance.
Summer - The Sanctuary is open to the public from Easter
to the end of September. During these times volunteers
help in various ways: serving in the Sanctuary's vegetarian
cafe, and sweeping paths and public areas. Winter: From
October to Easter, most work is in the grounds and gardens
including monkey territory maintenance. Volunteers help
with building, repairing and painting territory structures,
management of wildlife friendly areas of the gardens and
maintenance of the house and grounds. Volunteers do not
work directly with the monkeys under any circumstances.
Keepers spend many months learning to recognise not only
each individual monkey but also their personalities and
the group dynamics.
Financials:
Volunteers pay £35.00* weekly towards the cost of
accommodation and food. (*£25.00 students / £15.00
unwaged)
Accommodation
and transport: Volunteers live in with the Sanctuary team,
sharing a room with other volunteers. Food is provided
and is vegetarian. We are unable to help with travel costs.
The summer holiday period is very popular, and is therefore
often fully booked months in advance.

further information, write to: Mike Brown at The Monkey
Sanctuary, Looe, Cornwall, PL13 1NZ (Please enclose a
stamped addressed envelope with correspondence requiring
a reply) or e-mail monkey_sanctuary_uk@compuserve.com

CHILDCARE
Looking for Work? Are you looking for work overseas during
your gap year or for the summer holidays? We have
au pair positions all over Europe for both male and female
applicants. As an au pair, you would be expected
to help with the childcare and housework for up to 30
hours per week. In return you would receive room,
board and pocket money equivalent to about £45 per
week. There is also the opportunity to work longer
hours for more money if you wish. There is no better
way to improve your language skills than to immerse yourself
in the culture. Au pairing allows you to do just
that because you live with the family and speak the language
all the time. Effectively you become a big brother
or sister to the children, playing with them, reading
them stories and generally looking after them. If
this sounds like something that interests you, then give
us a call. CALL US FREE 0800 068 7011. A-One Au-Pairs

INTERNATIONAL
WORKCAMPS
pro international e.V., Bahnhofstraße 26 A, 35037
Marburg, Germany. Telefon: (06421) 65277. Fax: 64407
eMail: pro-international@lahn.net http://www.pro-international.de
We offer: International Workcamps, duration: 2 - 3 weeks,
between March and November.
The
Principle of Workcamps: Workcamps are always voluntary
and without payment ! They are international and organise
themselves. Working together within the group for
a common aim is an absolutely vital component of every
workcamp. What actually 'happens' in a workcamp depends
largely on each individual.
The
Aim: We see in the international workcamp the possibility
for young people to exchange experiences and to learn
more about other social, cultural and political living
conditions. We hope they come to an understanding of people
from various countries by living together in an international
group.
The
Group: Young people from 16-26, mostly school-goers or
students with very varied back-grounds and interests.
Usually one meets participants from 5 - 10 different countries,
mainly from Europe, but also from other continents in
a workcamp.
The
Board and Lodging: The groups live mostly in simple accommodation,
in youth hostels, schools, huts and empty houses, sometimes
in tents. The accommodation has only basic furniture,
beds, mattresses, blankets etc. and equipment for self-catering.
Board and lodging is free in all workcamps.
The
Work: The work (5-6 hours daily) from Monday to Friday
should encourage people to get to know each other by working
towards a common goal and simultaneously providing a real
service. The work requires no previous knowledge or experience,
e.g. renovating playgrounds, ecology, care of parks, supervision
of children etc.
The
Free Time: As much as possible this should be spent together
in the group and can be used to get to know the country
in more ways than as a usual tourist. Excursions together,
visits to museums and other places of interest are just
a few suggestions. There should as will be enough room
for each individual to follow his or her particular interest
or need.
The Fee: The registration fee is 100,00 DM and has to
be paid/transferred together with the application via
bank, Credit-card or Euro-cheque.
The
Programme: You will find all details about our programme
on our website www.pro-international.de

AUSTRIA
AGRICULTURE
WWOOF Austria - Do you want to get into the countryside,
to help the organic movement, to see Austria, to travel
cheaply, to learn German (most of the farmers speak English
too), to meet interesting people, to live and help as
family thus learning about the hows and whys of organic
farming? Then come to know organic agriculture and to
meet other people, help on organic farms and receive food
and accommodation in return. Then WWOOF, that's for you!
WWOOF-
an Exchange - WWOOF (Willing Workers on Organic Farms)
is a form of cultural exchange. WWOOF-farmers open their
doors for interested people of other countries and cultures.
One farmer said: "We have to stay on our farm, by WWOOF
we bring the world into our house.... a fresh breeze blows
through the farm". The farmer provides free food and accommodation
in exchange for your help.
How
it works - After payment of the membership fee of ATS
250/US-$ 25/DM 35 (cheques only in Austrian Shillings
for EU-people, from anywhere else only cash) + 2 IRC,
you will receive the farmlist. Now you can choose "your"
farm(s) yourself according to your interests and make
your own arrangements to help. WWOOFing is not a job,
WWOOFing is a working vacation. You come as a traveller
and need your own travel-insurance, but you don't need
a labour permit. During the stay on an Austrian WWOOF-farm
only WWOOF-members have an insurance against accidents.
As you are a guest on the farm it is necessary to make
an appointment, otherwise the farmer can send you away.
You are free to change farms, to have new experiences
and to see other regions of our country. The volunteering
should not be exploitive of either WWOOFer or the host.
History
- In the early seventies the London secretary Sue Coppard
wanted to spend her weekends on an organic farm and this
was the idea : WWOOF was born. 18 months later she needed
four more people to help with the administration. WWOOF
Austria started in 1996 with financial and moral support
from WWOOF Germany.
The
Farmlist - In our illustrated farmlist there are more
than 100 farms from all over Austria representing the
whole range of farming interests. Our farmers are nice,
open people, who enjoy to meet guests from all over the
world and to spend the time with them, showing them the
surrounding countryside, meeting friends, dancing at a
farmer's wedding, hiking and having fun together. Remember
that they also need much time and energy to instruct you
and they will expect your interest and good will to help
with and learn about organic farming. WWOOF-hosts live
a simple sustainable lifestyle and sometimes at first
it is not easy to share it. In the farmlist there are
only organic farmers and they use different kinds of agriculture
like permakulture, bio-dynamic, other organic systems.
Austria is famous for its organic farms. Because of our
country's geography with mountains and hills there are
many small, but very successful farms. In Austria we have
more than half of the organic farms from the whole European
Union.
Austria,
the country - Small, but beautiful - this is our country
in the heart of Europe. Within an area of no more than
83.854 square km Austria harbours an abundance of sights
and adventures just waiting to be discovered. Austria
consists of 9 provinces, which are completely different
in their scenic and cultural attractions. Come and see
it for yourself!
