Amazing experience
International Primate Rescue的点评
点评：I came back from International Primate Rescue last week after spending 3 weeks there and I absolutely loved my experience!
International Primate Rescue is such an amazing non profit charity, run by Sue Mousley, a warrior in her own right! This amazing human gives her all to ensure these primates have the very best love, care and attention they need to thrive and to live out the rest of their days happily.
Also, Sophie Finch, a young and dedicated lady who works alongside Sue with the day to day running, the support for volunteering and media outputs.
I was so fortunate to meet and work alongside IPRs long termers Tina Jenkinson and Lizzy Lorimer - These ladies have been coming and going for many years and leave a piece of their hearts everytime they have to go.
Most many of these monkeys have been rescued by Sue / IPR and the hundreds of volunteers/carers thoughout the years from some horrendous situations that has ultimately meant that they are unable to be rehabilitated into the wild so now will live out the rest of their days at the rescue centre, being given the best possible love, care and attention 😍
Daily tasks -
Our days were spent interacting with the monkeys, giving them clean, warm and enjoyable enclosures to live and sleep in (when I say enclosures, I mean, these guys have the run of the place...)
The first meal of the day was always completed by members of Sue's staff in the early hours.
The volunteer's day started at 9am with what was referred to as 'top ups' additional food and fresh water for everyone. Meals were always of a good variety providing balanced and healthy foods, suppliments and engaging choices.
Once we had completed this, we would then take direction from Sue for our next task, usually to clean enclosures. Providing fresh blankets/straw/grass, Leaving new branches and enrichment activities.
It was always a pleasure to watch them go into their enclosures, cameras at the ready!
Twelve until two was our extensive lunch break, plenty of time to relax, eat and regroup, reflecting on our morning and a chance to discuss our afternoon tasts.
2pm would start with top ups once more, just as before. We would then go on to what ever was needed to be done. Grounds maintenance was also important, especially raking the main walk ways, around the enclosures and beneath tunnels when sometimes food would be dropped.
THEN, 4pm was treat time! A most enjoyable time not just for the monkeys but for us also! Everyday, a different type of treat, from monkey nuts to the occasional cheese puffs. And they always knew it was 4pm!
During the whole day there was always opportunity for observations, looking out for the general well being of the monkeys and enclosures.
5pm was the end to our day but we would take turns to help feed the nocturnal monkeys and have quality time too and also by 6:30, the bowl collection from each enclosure ready to wash and be used the next morning.
Accommodation -
Its not the kind of place you need to take a hair dryer and straightners like I did! No, the accommodation is very basic, providing electricity from 5pm until 10pm each day although Sue was always happy to put the generator on throughout the day if anyone needed to wash clothes.
My advise to anyone would be to take solor powered lights, battery packs ect to be able to charge phones, tablets and laptops throughout the daytime.
Shower was hot and had good pressure.
There is a new 4 ring cooker with a good oven and also a microwave.
There are several bedrooms that sleep between 2 and 4 people at a time with fresh linen and a towel.
Time off -
We worked out between ourselves what days off we wanted to ensure we always had 'hands on' at the sanctuary.
We had opportunities to go and explore parts of Sound Africa. Lots to do and see within a short drive away. Not forgetting the Africa sunsets and rises, truly breath taking.
Marnie and his wife who live next door and have been in full support of IPR for 28years were always happy to help, arrange and even take you on excursions.
I was fortunate to visit Krugar National Park for 3 days with their support and I couldn't have felt safer.
There is a supermarket, a liquor store and a take away just a short taxi drive away, even a KFC!
Overall this has opened my eyes to a whole new world! If you're the hands on type of person, has a huge heart for the welfare of animals and enjoy getting to know like minded people, this place is for you... I absolutely cannot wait to return.

翻译：我上周从国际灵长类动物救援中心回来，在那里待了 3 周，我非常喜欢这次经历！
国际灵长类动物救援中心是一个了不起的非营利慈善机构，由 Sue Mousley 经营，她本身就是一名战士！这位了不起的人竭尽全力确保这些灵长类动物得到它们茁壮成长和幸福度过余生所需的最好的爱、关怀和关注。
还有 Sophie Finch，一位年轻而敬业的女士，她与 Sue 一起负责日常运营、志愿服务和媒体输出的支持。
我很幸运能与 IPR 的长期员工 Tina Jenkinson 和 Lizzy Lorimer 见面并共事 - 这些女士来来去去已经很多年了，每次离开都会留下一片心。
多年来，这些猴子中的大多数都是由 Sue / IPR 和数百名志愿者/护理人员从一些可怕的情况中救出来的，这些情况最终意味着它们无法在野外康复，所以现在它们将在救援中心度过余生，得到最好的爱、照顾和关注😍
日常任务 -
我们每天都在与猴子互动，为它们提供干净、温暖和舒适的围栏供它们生活和睡觉（当我说围栏时，我的意思是，这些家伙可以自由活动……）
一天的第一顿饭总是由 Sue 的工作人员在凌晨完成。
志愿者的一天从早上 9 点开始，为每个人提供所谓的“补充”额外食物和淡水。餐点总是种类丰富，提供均衡健康的食物、补充剂和有趣的选择。
完成这项工作后，我们将按照 Sue 的指示进行下一个任务，通常是清洁围栏。提供新鲜的毯子/稻草/草，留下新的树枝和丰富的活动。
看着它们进入围栏，相机随时待命，总是一件令人愉快的事情！
十二点到两点是我们充足的午休时间，有足够的时间放松、吃饭和重新集合，回顾我们的早晨，并有机会讨论我们下午的品尝。
下午 2 点会像以前一样再次开始补充。然后我们将继续做任何需要做的事情。场地维护也很重要，特别是耙主要走道、围栏周围和隧道下方，有时会掉落食物。
然后，下午 4 点是款待时间！这不仅是猴子最愉快的时光，也是我们最愉快的时光！每天都有不同类型的款待，从猴子坚果到偶尔的奶酪泡芙。他们总是知道现在是下午 4 点！
整天都有观察的机会，关注猴子和围栏的总体健康状况。
下午 5 点是我们一天的结束，但我们会轮流喂食夜行猴子，享受美好时光，到 6:30 时，每个围栏里的碗都准备好清洗，供第二天早上使用。
住宿 -
这不是那种需要像我一样带吹风机和直发器的地方！不，住宿条件非常简陋，每天从下午 5 点到晚上 10 点提供电力，不过如果有人需要洗衣服，Sue 总是很乐意全天打开发电机。
我建议大家带上太阳能灯、电池组等，以便能够在白天为手机、平板电脑和笔记本电脑充电。
淋浴很热，水压也很好。
有一个新的 4 环炊具，配有一个好烤箱和一个微波炉。
有几间卧室，一次可睡 2 到 4 人，配有干净的床单和毛巾。
休假 -
我们自己商量好了要休息哪些天，以确保我们总能在保护区“亲自动手”。
我们有机会去探索 Sound Africa 的部分地区。开车一小段距离，有很多事情可做，有很多景点可看。别忘了非洲的日落和日出，真的令人叹为观止。
住在隔壁的 Marnie 和他的妻子 28 年来一直全力支持 IPR，他们总是很乐意帮助、安排甚至带你去游览。
在他们的支持下，我有幸参观了克鲁格国家公园 3 天，我感到无比安全。
打车一小段距离就有超市、酒类商店和外卖店，甚至还有肯德基！
总的来说，这让我大开眼界，看到了一个全新的世界！如果你是亲自动手的人，对动物福利怀有巨大的热情，喜欢结识志同道合的人，那么这个地方就是为你准备的……我绝对迫不及待地想再来。
