What our volunteers are saying...
“We got to experience working with turtles from nearly hatched to around 8 months old. They were extremely cute and you could really see the impact of the volunteering when we released them into the wild. It became clear after working there for a few days that volunteers are essential to keeping the project going so it felt good to be part of something that can help ensure the survival of these beautiful animals.” – Errol, Turtle Conservation Program, Bali
“We were all so well looked after, with all facilities well maintained, drivers readily available, existing connections across all of Chiang Mai and major attractions we all wanted to visit as well as endless resources to utilise within the classroom setting. The food was definitely locally sourced with many dishes being traditional to Thailand however the food was well prepared and delicious. A few more Western dishes would have been adored but not necessary!” – Charli, Teaching in Thailand
