Internship description

In our Foundation Driver, we want someone:

. At least 21 years old with a full, clean manual driving licence.
. Confidence in operating and driving in South Africa.
. Must have a keen interest in the environment and conservation, not
necessarily having previously worked with animals.
. Able to work on their own initiative.

As your primary goal will be to act as Driver for the Foundation's daily
activities, your duties will involve:

. Collecting food for the Monkeys on a daily basis (this will involve
driving a trailer)
. Providing transfers to Tzaneen for arriving and departing volunteers
and also collecting and transporting our Monkeys (vet visits etc).
. Working within the provided budget, monitor and replenish the
Foundation's stock - this includes shopping for gas bottles, volunteer
groceries, monkey food, collecting water etc.
. When not driving, you may have the opportunity to assist in other
tasks at the Foundation.

In taking on this unpaid volunteer role, we will provide basic cabin
accommodation, vegan meals and you will also gain the opportunity to
experience the culture and wildlife of South Africa.
