Post #80 - Jennie's last day :(

Hi! Jennie writing (membership volunteer). Jennie’s last day at Save the Rhino! Booooo. New job at PETA! Yaaaaay! Whatever. I think getting paid for your work is over-rated. Ha ha. Boy will I miss the SRI office. Everyone has been so great, and it’s rare to find an office with such a friendly and lively bunch of people. And they all love rhinos! What more could you ask for? Doing volunteer work here has given me the experience I needed to get my new job with PETA, where hopefully rhinos will fit into the animals that I will be helping to save. Maybe at my new job I will be able to stop rhino-skin handbags from becoming the next big thing. You know all the movie stars and fashion icons love the leathery toughness and lovely, wrinkly greyness of the rhino-skin handbag, complete with fly zipper accessories (made from real flies!). I will definitely have to put a stop to that in advance. My favourite part of my volunteer work has been organising SRI’s picture collection (where I got to see photos of some of the rhinos and other wildlife at various SRI projects in Africa, busses stuck in the mud, giraffe’s posing for the camera, and various friends of SRI looking tipsy at fundraising events), doing various research projects on a wide variety of subjects, and personally lending a hand in bringing in new members for Save the Rhino. With an easy-to-use membership database up-to-date and running, I think my time is done here. I hope to work closely with SRI in the future, as my ultimate goal is to run conservation projects of my own. So in the future, they may see me riding past on a white rhino and waving hello. I heart Save the Rhino!
