> 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 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. 

For further information on Azafady please visit our website on www.madagascar.co.uk and for more details on the Pioneer Madagascar volunteer programme (and application forms) go to the same website and follow the connections for Volunteering.

> UK 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. 

For 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 The Sanctuary has a website at: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/monkey_sanctuary_uk/

The time one can or wants to start up all this is negotiable. Almost anytime is fine. One up to a few months stay is possible. We will provide you with room (homestay) and board (nothing too fancy, but the basic needs will certainly be covered), forward your visa support papers (all expenses paid), help you arrange your travel around, in, from Russia in the most economical way possible, assist you with itinerary and transportation advice. We will be happy to see you on our outdoor and bicycle trips too. No extra money paid for that, just the regular contribution, everyone makes up to the trip expenses.

Anyone needs more details, drop me a line or two! Web site: http://www.sv-agency.udm.ru Email ji@sv-agency.udm.ru

SOLICITING
Have you changed your travel plans in light of recent events in New York and Afghanistan?

(a) No - not at all
(b) Made some changes to plans and will be more cautious

(c) Yes, I've made significant changes or have had second thoughts

(d) I'm digging a big hole, getting in, and I'm not coming out ever again

Please send your answers headed "JAB Oct Poll" to: jobs@payaway.co.uk

* Last month we asked how much you intend to save before leaving for your travels? 58% intend to save over £1000 (or equivalent), 33% would prefer to wait until they have £2000, while only 9% set off with just enough cash to last a couple of weeks until they find work.

Colette put it best: "I would love to just get up and go, or see how long it takes to find a job - but to start the experience, and appreciate fully what that culture has to offer, I would need to feel relaxed at the beginning and take the pressure of money (or lack of it!) away.

If I were patient or able to raise over £2000 quickly, I would opt for that. However, I am neither so my answer has to be C) over £1000."
