WHAT’S HAPPENING at PPS?

Gearing up for the Volunteer Expo
Pacific Primate Sanctuary will be participating in the Maui County Volunteer Expo. The Volunteer Expo will be held on Saturday, October 29th at the Queen Ka’ahumanu Center in Kahului, from 11am-1pm. This event will give us a chance to connect with the community, and let them know about the wonderful volunteer opportunities available at the Sanctuary. We are looking forward to spreading the word about PPS!

PPS INTERNSHIP

PPS Intern Annabel

Our newest Interns and Extern have progressed rapidly in their training. Extern Dawn, who arrived in June, has completed her AM and PM shift instruction and her Emergency Care module. Dawn was drawn to PPS, leaving her successful business in England. She had no previous exotic animal care experience but, with great motivation and dedication, she has mastered so much in the short time she has been at the Sanctuary! Now, Dawn will be able to deepen her understanding and skills as an animal caregiver, and she has also offered to take on some administrative tasks. Intern Linda also had a very productive month, graduating from both the AM shift and PM shift training. With her past experience working in a Vet Clinic, Linda was also able to complete her Emergency Care module in no time. Our newest Intern, Annabel, who came to PPS from England, has also completed her AM and PM shift protocol training. We have already begun Annabel’s instruction in Emergency Care, which she is very eager to learn. Intern Caroline graduated from both AM and PM shifts as well as Emergency Care training a couple months ago, and is sharing her skills with Dawn, Linda and Annabel. This powerful PPS team can now begin to learn about Colony Management!
