[Coral-List] Voluntary work during Ramadhan on Chumbe Island Coral Park

[Conservation]

Dear all coral list members,

Chumbe Island Coral Park can offer two volunteers to work as Ramadan Rangers for one month starting on September 12'th, 2007. During the holy month of Ramadan our Zanzibari rangers can not swim in the sea during daytime, so we need one or two people to volunteer as snorkel guides. The job involves guiding the guests at the eco lodge while snorkelling inside the marine park, hence many hours in the water every day. A background in marine biology and experience from diving/snorkelling is a requirement for the positions. You must be a strong swimmer. CHICOP will provide basic accommodation (staff room) and simple food with the staff when on the island. We recommend two friends applying as this is a great opportunity to experience the famous Chumbe Island protected reef and to work as a team with our guests (maximum of 14 overnight guests).

For further information please check our website www.chumbeisland.com. You can also read some personal experiences from one of our previous Ramadan Rangers, Johnny Miller, in our newsletter from Jan 2005 (http://www.chumbeisland.com/news/Newsletter0105/newsletter_0105.pdf). 

We look forward to receiving applications including CV's in the near future!

Best wishes / Frida Lanshammar and the Chumbe Ranger Team
