Volunteering with the organization was an unforgettable experience. We made wonderful friendships with the amazing dogs and the friendly people around us. The working hours are well-balanced, giving you a lot of time to explore the beautiful island. The dogs are full of energy, love and personality and every moment spent with them was a joy. We're truly grateful for the time we spent there and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves working with animals

The dogs and cats at the organization is taken care of and love attention. I worked at the shelter 6 days a week, walking the dogs. Be aware that some of them do not get along with the other dogs, so make sure to ask the staff and more experienced volunteers, which ones those are to avoid any conflicts. None of them are aggressive with humans. Sometimes volunteers are split between the hostel and green house. I stayed at both and both are suitable. I met other volunteers and hostel guests and made some great friends from this experience! I enjoyed my time in Mindelo and would come back :)

I really enjoyed my time in Mindelo and I wish I could extend, but unfortunately I have to get back🥹 The work with the animals is amazing and the work that you do is so important! The hostel is very busy and there is always work to do! The host is an amazing hardworking and passionate woman who I only can respect so so much. Her dedication to the work gave me motivation like I hadn't experienced before. Next to this she's an amazing sweet person and a host that I would absolutely recommend! If you want to make a difference in a beautiful country with lovely people; come join the organization!!❤️

The NGO Si Ma Bô, the protection and shelter of abandoned animals in Mindelo, island of São Vicente (Cape Verde), was my first experience in volunteering. I found a dedicated team that struggles to get the job done and that is changing the way the whole community treats the animals - dogs and cats - on the street. It was a tiring, but rewarding job. Silvia and Paolo Manzoni are dedicated and passionate people for what they do. Being a volunteer at Si Ma Bô was an unforgettable experience and I highly recommend it.

Annamaria, it was a big pleasure to host you! It was challenging for us to have an experienced juournalist and photographer to volunteer for us! I'm very happy we didn't disappoint you!

The organization is a very good association doing very important work for the animals in the island, you will get to know their work and see for yourself how needed their presense is! I worked in the dogshelter, walking and helping to take care of the dogs staying there. You can truly feel the happiness you bring the dogs when you come to their rooms with the leashes and how calm and satisfied they are when you finish walking them. The friends you will make with other volunteers and workers in the organization is also a big plus. Was an overall great experience!

I had a great time in Mindelo with the organization. I had a private and comfortable room, an amazing and cozy work place and very competent colleagues and supervisors. I had the opportunity to organize my own work schedule and work according to my rythm. The supervisors gave me a lot of advice and supported me in every aspect of my stay. Definetly going to come back
