Colobus Trust

Catherine, our Office Administrator, is now 8 months pregnant  and as of next month will be taking her maternity leave. This will be her second child and we would like to take this opertunity to congratulate her again, and wish her the best of luck! 

This leaves us with a huge hole in our workforce as Catherine is responsible for our accounts as well as so much more. We are now looking for a volunteer who can join us for some, if not all, of Catherine’s absence and help us out. 

Basic computer skills are required as the main task of Catherine’s job is to use Quickbooks to keep a tab of our accounts. This is not as hard as it sounds, and can be taught. Unfortunately the remaining staff cannot cover for her as we all have our own areas of responsibilities. Apart from the main task of keeping the books up to date, the input our volunteer can give will be dependent on how they feel they can help. Below is a brief list of what we are looking for help with:

Accounting (keeping our Quickbooks System up to date can be explained if needed as Catherine lives near by) 

Website Maintainance (as well as contributing to our blog)

Marketing (working alongside Hamisi, our Marketing & Education Liason to improve such things as our Adopt A Colobus program)

 Fundraising (as well as helping me organise some upcoming fundraising events, help with writing proposals would be greatly appreciated)

…and so much more!

We really need long term volunteers to help us in many ways. So if you are interested, or if you know anyone who would be interested, in coming out and helping us please get them to contact me at gwili@colobustrust.org  

Please tell your friends!
