0 comments Farewell to Anja - our special Bumi Hills Volunteer!

Anja Dobes volunteered at Bumi for a month in Sept 2011

Anja Dobes, our first volunteer, completed her month’s tour of duty last week and we sadly bade farewell to someone who has made a lasting impression on lodge life as we know it. Anja very quickly became part of the family here at Bumi and her assistance around the lodge, with the anti-poaching unit, Chalala Primary School and the local clinic will be sorely missed. She even found the time in her busy schedule to accompany the BHAPU scouts on a trip to the nearby rifle range where, despite never having fired a weapon of any sort before , she was the only person to hit the small target at 50 metres with a .458 elephant gun! Anja’s feedback will go a long way to helping us develop a structured and successful program for future volunteers. We wish her all the best in her new job back in Switzerland!
