Zoo Negara #4

This is actually a rant post about Volunteers that come to supposedly help the workers here. I can sense that they are not used to working hard with such conditions and they probably wouldn't understand the importance of the things they were told to do. For example, they complain that the boots are all worn out and that the water and poo could all get into their feet. Or how the zookeepers are asking the volunteers to help clear the area of leaves and weed, because these hard work could be done by the keepers themselves but these poor volunteers have to do their work for them.

I feel disappointed listening to the volunteers complain. Often, I have a hunch that these people are sort of forced to be volunteers here. I guess that part is sort of understable that they weren't willing in the first place. I wish I could say something.

Dear volunteers, please only volunteer when you really want to. Because you will be spoiling the mood for those who actually have to work hard for their livings. Even if you're dissatisfied about something, keep it in and remain professional. There really isn't any reason for you to make their work any harder when volunteers were meant to make their work easier.

I wish I could instill the bigger picture in the importance of the little things that they do and how much of an impact it could be instead of being fussed and annoyed at that one tiny task.
