Moritz in the Mara- Last Day in Camp
filed in Solo on Aug.31, 2010
Jambo!
Well, it’s the end of Moritz’s 3 month Leap Solo placement here at Muthaiga and he left us this morning. Over the past eight weeks Moritz has been invaluable in his assistance to us. Our office/booking manager was taken sick 6 weeks ago and Moritz rose to the challenge and got us through the tough times!
His tasks (in brief) have included:
· Learning the local languages. both Swahili and Maa.
· Meeting and greeting clients at the airstrip and at camp.
· Doing shopping for supplies in both Olmutia and Narok/Nairobi.
· Assisted in hospital runs for local community members.
· Organising bush meals for clients.
· Assisted staff in gathering firewood.
· Hosting clients at meal time.
· Organized/assisted in the inventory control of our food supplies.
· Taught local staff computer excel and word skills.
· Ran our booking office while staff have been away.
· Communicated with international clients by email and telephone.
· Communicated with domestic airlines regarding client bookings.
We, the staff and I, are going to miss him very much. Our second Leaper, Ryne, is doing a good job and now that Moritz is gone he will be even busier and excel in his own right.
Keep the Leapers coming!
Greg (Muthaiga Camp manager)
