Vervet Monkey Foundation的点评
点评：When I first arrived as a volunteer (January - April 2024), I was very content with the accommodation, I had my own room with electricity, WiFi and a fan.
I started working around the foundation and started to discover their great work with monkeys. I spent some time with the babies, took care of milk shifts and finally got asked if I would be happy to be trained on sickbay (their on site « hospital ») and I said yes.
I started there and was so happy with the work, getting along very well with the staff, so well that they pushed me to apply for an internship with them. I was very excited and decided to accept the offer, applied to be an intern and came back 6 months later. I even made a very generous donation to their future project « vervet forest ».
When I arrived the second time is when I discovered the other side of the foundation.
As an intern, or staff, we didn’t feel respected. Every time we asked for the tinniest change in the routine that’ll make our work easier we’ve been told that it was impossible and that we had to « s*ck it up » to use their words. It just felt that we had to s*ck it up 24/7 and weren’t considered for the work we were doing.
Don’t get me wrong I have done a lot of volunteering and I am happy to help in any occasions, it’s just the way they took us for granted and considered that we were inferior to them.
The co-director Josie Humble has no consideration for her team and takes us for granted giving us the lowest tasks to do as « she doesn’t have time to do it » but take a mischievious pleasure to watch you do the shore in question and no one knows what she does all day. I just know that she is rarely seen on site.
Anyway even though I signed a 6 months contract I préfères leaving the foundation

翻译：当我第一次以志愿者的身份到达时（2024 年 1 月 - 4 月），我对住宿条件非常满意，我有自己的房间，有电、WiFi 和风扇。
我开始在基金会工作，开始发现他们在猴子方面的出色工作。我花了一些时间陪孩子，照顾牛奶轮班，最后有人问我是否愿意在医务室（他们现场的“医院”）接受培训，我答应了。
我从那里开始工作，对工作非常满意，与员工相处得很好，他们鼓励我申请实习。我非常兴奋，决定接受这个提议，申请成为一名实习生，6 个月后回来了。我甚至为他们未来的项目“青长尾猴森林”捐赠了一笔非常慷慨的捐款。
当我第二次到达时，我发现了基金会的另一面。
作为实习生或员工，我们感觉没有受到尊重。每次我们要求对日常工作进行哪怕是最细微的改变以使我们的工作更轻松时，我们都被告知这是不可能的，用他们的话来说，我们必须“把它搞砸”。感觉我们必须 24/7 地搞砸，而且他们没有考虑到我们所做工作。
别误会我的意思，我做了很多志愿工作，我很乐意在任何场合提供帮助，只是他们认为我们是理所当然的，认为我们比他们低劣。
联合主任 Josie Humble 根本不考虑她的团队，把我们视为理所当然，给我们最低级的任务，因为“她没有时间做”，但会以一种淘气的乐趣看着你做那个海岸，没有人知道她一整天都在做什么。我只知道她很少出现在现场。
无论如何，即使我签了 6 个月的合同，我还是宁愿离开基金会
