ISSUE 18 / SEPTEMBER 2001 / PART 1 OF 2
Hello.
We weren't sure when we would be able to bring you this
issue of JAB. We've settled on a new list service at last
but it took longer than expected (as everything seems
to do). There was a period of a few weeks when joining
and leaving JAB was impossible because our normal list
administration infrastructure didn't exist but all's better
now. At the bottom of each part of each issue of JAB you
will find your new unique code that can be used to make
changes to your subscription.

ATROCITIES
& SAFETY
Our sympathies are with the families of the victims of
the atrocities in New York, Washington and Pittsburgh.
Many of the dead came from dozens of counties around the
world, drawn to America by the freedoms and opportunities
offered there.
The
Islamic World too has its admirers and has long been praised
by travellers for the hospitality of its peoples. However
the region is likely to be unstable for the foreseeable
future and travellers there need to be cautious and informed.

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.

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)
