Our rescue base in Simon's Town is looking for two volunteers:A lady who is not working and has the time to visit the base 3 times a week to undertake basic admin tasks. She must be computer literate and also be able to visit NSRI HQ in Three Anchor Bay twice a month as part of the admin duties.We also need the help of a retired gentleman who loves to potter around and complete small maintenance tasks. He would require some basic knowledge of boat and building maintenance. It would involve 2 to 4 hours a week but if they wish to put in more that will be a bonus. If you can help please contact Simon's Town station commander Darren Zimmerman at email: darren.zimmerman@gmail.com
