A day as a volunteer varies on a daily basis. The day starts
with a breakfast served from 7:00am. The field/office work start at 8:30am and
ends at 4:30pm. Likewise the rest of the staff, a volunteer at Partners For
Conservation has a 1h30 break for lunch. The lunch is served and shared within Partners
For Conservation compound between 12:30pm and 13:30pm. As field works may sometimes
go beyond lunch time, volunteers
are advised carry some snacks and drinks.
Partners For Conservation allows volunteers to freely plan
their daily activities to ensure they are happy with what they’re doing and
helping to address the local identified issue.
Partners For
Conservation supports volunteer’s intervention by providing a comprehensive
team involving among others a driver (where necessary), a local interpreter and
senior officer/ project manager. This is key to ensure there’s excellent
communication on and off the field for a successful intervention and teamwork.
Basically, a volunteer will be involved in the education programmes related to sports but may contribute to
promotion, marketing and advertisement and
events management, IT support mainly web and blog management, conducting
surveys and researches ( recommended or individuals), fundraising, grants and proposal writing and public
relation through interacting with various stakeholders or representing the
organisation in meetings, conference and events such as the Gorilla Naming
Ceremony .
