Activities & Shift
* There is a lot of cleaning involved. Every single day. Sweeping, mopping, doing the dishes, cleaning dogs and cats poo, raking and lots more. Basically all of the work, except the cuddling, is physical work.
* A specific daily routine followed by Worldpackers is especially important for any place with a high amount of animals.
* Freshly cooked food is provided for our animals which consists of rice, fish and meat. If you're a vegan (like many of our volunteers), please beware :)
* You should not be scared to drive a scooter/motorbike, so you can easily get to/from the sanctuary and discover the island during your free time.
