The best volunteer experience!
Chipangali Wildlife Orphanage and Research Centre的点评
点评：Wow what an amazing experience to be able to volunteer at Chipangali. I have learnt so much and been so close to such amazing wildlife and people! The respect between the animals and the workers is unbelievable. The lovely Wilson family who own and run the orphanage put so much care and dedication to the running of the Chipangali. They have such a passion for animals and helping them as well as releasing them back to the wild.
The fact the carnivore team can say the lions name and in, then the lion just strolls on in to their bedroom area. Meaning the workers or volunteers can shut the connecting door and clean their outside area. It’s amazing. The lion who closes their own door (I might have had a battle of opening and closing with this particular male lion but is was so entertaining) is incredible.
I loved having the opportunity to build respect and trust with the animals to allow us to get close to them. Such as Dash the lion, Apollo the hyena, Puppy the squirrel, Jasper and Victor the velvet monkeys, Lil Man the lamb, Alvin, Simon and not so nice Theo the servals and many many more!
Each animal is in the orphanage because they are ether an orphan, abandoned, confiscated or injured animal. Some have been reared in captivity due to being abandoned or orphaned and so cannot be released back into the wild due to local/government guidelines. They then become permanent residences of the orphanage and become part of their education programme, educating adults and children to the real value of Zimbabwe’s wildlife heritage. The education programme is the help the locals learn about the wildlife and how precious and important it is. So if they grow up to take over a family farm then will know to ring Chipangali to help with attacks from any wild animal and they will help capture and release the animal into another wild area further away from local farms.
I loved my time here and could not recommend volunteering here more. It’s such an incredible experience and I hope the orphanage gets more funding in the future because it truly deserves it.

翻译：哇，能够在 Chipangali 做志愿者真是一次奇妙的经历。我学到了很多东西，并且如此接近如此神奇的野生动物和人类！动物和工人之间的尊重令人难以置信。拥有并经营孤儿院的可爱的 Wilson 一家为 Chipangali 的运营付出了如此多的关心和奉献。他们对动物充满热情，不仅帮助它们，还将它们放归野外。
食肉动物团队可以说出狮子的名字，然后狮子就可以走进他们的卧室。这意味着工人或志愿者可以关上连接的门并清洁它们的外部区域。这太神奇了。狮子会关上自己的门（我可能和这只雄性狮子打过一场开门和关门的比赛，但这太有趣了）真是不可思议。
我很高兴有机会与动物建立尊重和信任，让我们能够接近它们。比如狮子 Dash、鬣狗 Apollo、松鼠 Puppy、绒猴 Jasper 和 Victor、小羊 Lil Man、Alvin、Simon 和不太友善的薮猫 Theo 等等！
每只动物都被安置在孤儿院，因为它们要么是孤儿，要么是被遗弃、被没收或受伤的动物。有些动物因为被遗弃或成为孤儿而被圈养，因此根据当地/政府的指导方针不能被放归野外。然后，它们成为孤儿院的永久住户，并成为孤儿院教育计划的一部分，教育成人和儿童了解津巴布韦野生动物遗产的真正价值。教育计划帮助当地人了解野生动物以及它们的珍贵和重要性。因此，如果他们长大后接管一个家庭农场，就会知道打电话给 Chipangali 帮助处理任何野生动物的袭击，他们会帮助捕获动物并将其放归到远离当地农场的另一个野生区域。
我很喜欢在这里度过的时光，非常推荐在这里做志愿者。这是一次令人难以置信的经历，我希望孤儿院将来能获得更多资金，因为它确实值得。
