We had a great time, with a lot of motivated and loving people. This place really puts the animals above all and you quickly notice the love they have for the animals they take care of. The living standards are very basic, which is to be expected at a place like this, but considering the extra fee the food and facilities were below expectations. This is no resort, and the hard beds and sore backs won't let you forget that;) Meals and workdays can get repetative, but it's fulfilling to know that what you do is truly for the betterment of the lives of the animals.
