Meeting the bears and being able to really make a difference to their day-to-day lives with enrichment, feeding and cleaning; some of the things we were doing (such as enrichment to keep the bears active and happy) wouldn't get done unless we were there to help out! (more)Heather Reynolds

Memorable parts?
I went to the Wildlife Rescue Centre in Thailand, this was a fantastic project helping animals who had been mostly kept as pets.

Going on a horseback safari and getting only six metres from a wild giraffe!! I also loved being so close with the monkeys in the centre
Tips?
You must like dogs as the site is full of them (all friendly of course!!) and not be afraid to get your hands dirty. You will be cleaning up after animals, it's not all
cuddles!!
Local benefits?
It definitely benefited the sanctuary. Whilst I was there, there was only myself as a short term volunteer and four long... (more)Carrie Hogan

So many aspects of the trip were memorable, even life changing -- it is hard to choose just one... Working closely with the women and children in the projects was an incredible opportunity to connect with and learn about realities outside our own world. Truly life-changing. (more)Shirley Redpath
This was a volunteering holiday so that whole premise was fantastic. I'd never done that before and it felt fabulous to be really doing something even though on holidays.

Overall rating?
It was a very interesting experience and we both learned a lot. But I think my 'roughing it' days are over; I was really glad to get to a nice, clean hotel at the end! (more)Mela Greenslade

Being in Kerala was the first totally wonderful thing! I loved the buzz of life in and around Fort Kochi while we were working at the women's project, and equally enjoyed a beautiful short trip to the more peaceful hills and plantations around Munnar. (more)Isobel Barnden
The memorable moment were the people, the children, the colours, the food, the sunsets. I missed Kerala when I got home … the colours, the gentle polite Keralan people, the beautiful friendly children, the interesting Volunteers, the warm weather, the beautiful sunsets, the food, and Gina’s lovely Keralan breakfasts and lunches at the volunteers’ house.

Seeing an Eagle ray swim right over us on a night dive, illuminated by our torchlight was the highlight. Staying on the island in the reef is wonderful and makes for very easy access to the dives. Excellent, a really enjoyable holiday with an environmental twist. (more)Tony Elliott

Watching a turtle rise out of the ocean, find her place, nest and return was amazing. We were there for every moment and it was incredibly special. We were able to work with hatchlings also. The trip involved a lot of education about the environment, turtles, recycling, and local culture. It was so much more than we expected.
Tips?
Pack mindfully. The project sites are very remote and you will not be running to the store to get things. If you are looking to... (more)Monica Minkel
