Detalhes
The program is not only for animal lovers and animal caretakers but volunteers who understand and value the project. My name is Marie-Anne. I am a retired bavarian vet. When I first came to Greece I was stunned by all the suffering I saw - in humans, animals and nature. A lot of violence here, maltreating each other seems to be usual. Meaning each spring the strays at the beach are poisoned and killed out of mere despair and lack of knowledge.
My Sanctuary Project is about creating a difference and showing that it is not so complicated to do so. I moved to Greece and rented a little neglected olive groove house nearby my house. First step was to create a livable place there. We now have 50 qm Volunteer House with bath, sleeping room, main room with kitchen, sun terrace and garden. The houses are in a deserted area, no noise, 300 m up the mountain and 2,5 km from the sea.

Neurodivergent people especially on the autistic side of the spectrum are welcome. It is a non smoking area and house, no drugs, no noise, no excess of alcohol. Visits of foreigners in your time here have to be talked about and approved in advance. You are supposed to be at the house each night, as you need to care for the animals.
