FRANCE
Carisma specialises in beach holidays for families. We
have mobile homes and
tents on campsites situated on or near the beach on the
west coast of France.
We are a small, family-run business who rely on the personal,
friendly service,
both in England and France, that we offer to all our customers.
We are,
therefore, looking for responsible site managers, couriers
and children's couriers
(aged 19+) to work in France from early May through to
late September. There
are also a few vacancies for employment from late June
to early September.
Applicants
should have experience in dealing with people and be of
a helpful
and friendly disposition. The ability to take responsibility
and deal with situations
and problems as they arise is essential and good spoken
French is preferable.
As
a small company, we rely on our team in France. The necessity
to keep
morale high is therefore important and so we allow our
employees to take a high
level of responsibility and organise their time so that
once the work for the day is
done there is plenty of opportunity to make the most of
the beach location of our
sites.
The
work involves cleaning, preparing and maintaining tents
and mobile homes
up to a high standard, welcoming families, providing information
and advice,
baby-sitting as well as organising customer social-evenings.
The lifestyle is very
sociable but there is a great deal of hard work. However,
constant customer
contact can provide the instant rewards of making a family's
holiday a happy
one.
Self-catering
accommodation is provided in tents, travel costs to and
from the
resort are paid together with a wage commensurate with
the position and full
training is given on site in France at the start of the
season.

exceptions). If you believe an advertiser in this bulletin

Raleigh International is a leading youth development charity

people from all backgrounds and nationalities to discover
their full
potential by working together on challenging environmental

projects around the world. We run three-month expeditions
with the option of
independent travel after the expedition, and look for
volunteers aged 17-25
for these expeditions all year round. The expeditions
are part of a longer
programme of training weekends and workshops prior to
expedition that
concentrate on global issues and your own personal development.
The
good news is that, unlike travelling independently, doing
a Raleigh
expedition should also be a free experience! As we are

MADAGASCAR
PIONEER MADAGASCAR - Volunteering Opportunities in Madagascar.
Madagascar is one of the biologically richest yet humanly
poorest countries in
the world. Most plants and animals are endemic to the
island and most are in
danger as a result of habitat destruction. It is estimated
that 96% of the island's
forests have been lost, mainly due to slash-and-burn agriculture.
Only 27% of
the 15 million population have access to clean drinking
water and the mortality
rate for children under 5 is a staggering one in ten.
Pioneer
Madagascar is the volunteer programme of Azafady, a registered
UK-
based charity (no. 107121) and Madagascar-based NGO. Through
Pioneer
Madagascar volunteers can experience working with a grass-roots
organisation
combating the problems of extensive deforestation and
extreme poverty on this
unique island. The programme focuses on integrated conservation
and
development initiatives which work closely with local
people. Each scheme lasts
10 weeks, places are extremely limited and subject to
a selection process.
Approximately 80% of the 'minimum donation' go directly
to running the projects;
the remaining 20% covers your costs in-the-field. We have
schemes starting in
October, January, April and July.
During
placements volunteers will learn to speak basic Malagasy
and gather
skills relevant to working in the fields of development,
conservation and
sustainable livelihoods. Our projects are led by some
of the most competent
conservationists and development workers on the island;
they are based on
communities' expressed needs and therefore provide an
insight for volunteers
into real on-the-ground work - they are not set up simply
for volunteers.
Volunteers will work on an extensive array of projects
from beach surveys of
endangered turtles to the building of wells in remote
villages.
Azafady's
conservation-based projects have been endorsed by, among
others,
Sir David Attenborough and the Royal Botanic Gardens at
Kew, while for our
Sustainable Livelihoods Initiative we recently received
the Sting and Trudie
Styler Award, one of the coveted Whitley Awards for conservation.

Voluntary Work at the Monkey Sanctuary.
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.
Volunteers
Over the course of a year, the Sanctuary receives several
dozen people for
voluntary work, with up to seven at any one time. First
time volunteers are
booked in for two to 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 over 18 years old may choose to stay
in our private home.
Alternatively, volunteers may rent local holiday 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, 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
We ask volunteers for a voluntary donation to The Monkey
Sanctuary Trust, the
charity which supports the Sanctuary (suggested amount
per week £35 waged,
£25 unwaged/student). Volunteers can also become
a Friend of the Monkey
Sanctuary (FOMS) for an additional £10. FOMS is
a good way for interested
people to keep up to date with the monkeys and Sanctuary
events. Members
receive an introductory newsletter, biannual updates,
postcards, a
certificate and a badge.
Accommodation
and transport
Volunteers may choose to book local holiday accommodation
or over-18's may
choose to live in with the Sanctuary team, sharing a room
with other
volunteers. Volunteers may share our meals or eat out
at local restaurants,
pubs and cafes. We are unable to help with travel costs.
The summer holiday
period is very popular, and is therefore often fully booked
months in
advance.
