===================================
JAB - THE JOBS ABROAD BULLETIN
A Monthly Bulletin for Finding Jobs Abroad, 
Working Holidays and Gap Year Opportunities
===================================


ISSUE 16 - JULY 2001 - PART 1 OF 2

Hello. Since we began JAB, we have been using Listbot to send you, and the other thousands of subscribers, your monthly dose of opportunities available around the world. Listbot have also helped to automate much of the administration of the bulletin - a task we would have difficulty dealing with on our own. These services have been free to us but next month Microsoft will begin charging Listbot users to send messages. 

We anticipate finding another free service to operate the bulletin, so we won't be passing on any costs to you. Neither is any action from you necessary. However, if you encounter any admin problems with your subscription to JAB in the next month or two, this will probably be the reason why. 

Also, the next issue of JAB will be earlier than usual to make use of Listbot's services one last time before we finalise our decision of what to do next. We will keep you informed as we learn more. In the meantime, the jobs abroad you are after are below.

You are receiving this newsletter because you asked for it. Anyone can join the Jobs Abroad Bulletin at http://www.payaway.co.uk/jobs.htm 

ONLINE GUIDEBOOK
The message board system we were just starting to use for the Online Guidebook has also begun to charge for its services (I'm spotting a trend here) so until we find a new home for it the OG will not be available.

FREE ADVERTISING IN JAB
We do not charge for advertising if you are offering a job abroad or certain jobs in the UK. To advertise here, please post your ad (text only) by email, or as a Word attachment, or email us for more information at jobs@payaway.co.uk 

A section for employers is available at http://www.payaway.co.uk/freeads.htm 

WARNING
Please be careful if you are asked to send money in advance to an employer or an agency. Though many organisations that advertise in JAB may require a fee (ie gap year expeditions and voluntary organisations requiring a contribution towards food and accommodation), it is not legal for UK employment agencies to charge employees for job placing services (au pair agencies are one of the few exceptions). If you believe an advertiser in this bulletin is not playing the game fairly, please report them to us.

> MADAGASCAR VOLUNTARY
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 July 2001, October 2001, January 2002, April 2002 and July 2002.

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.
