Fantastic! 🥰 I got to live and play with animals that I'd never seen, or at least in cages! Even though I'm not a veterinarian or biologist, I felt useful and incredibly happy to be able to help these little animals and the amazing team that cares for them! The guys are so kind and made me feel like part of the team! It was the best volunteer ever and one of the best experience of my life! 🥹 It's beautiful what you do and I hope you can carry it on forever! ☘️ Thank you so much!
