The organization was an amazing and meaningful experience. It was my first volunteer project and definitely won't be the last! I learned so much about the specific needs and handling of rescued the organization, while gaining valuable hands-on experience. The organisation was super easy, Qinqin is the cutest, most welcoming host I could imagine. I always felt comfortable with the tasks and the organization I was assigned (we always decided collectively) plus there have been so many inspiring people I've met. Thanks for your incredible work and that I was allowed to be a part of it. I hope I can come back one day🫶

I had to most amazing time with the organization! Everybody is super welcoming (especially Qinqin) and you will always get help if you need it. The work with the organization was magnificent. I was able to extend my knowledge about them and how to deal with a lot situations. The daily beachwalk was always a highlight! And last but not least I met a lot of amazing people! All of that made it really hard to leave! I made lifetime memories and will never forget my time at the organization gilis (hopefully I will be back). Thank you for everything:)

I had an amazing time at the organization! I really enjoyed being around the organization and I learnt a lot about horse care and ground handling. I also met some great people. Being on an island surrounded by beautiful beaches is a huge plus. I would have happily stayed longer if my travel plans allowed :)

My time at the organization was such a highlight of my travels. The mornings were so magical at the beach with the organization and the turtles! The work was light in the afternoon and I learnt so much from all of the girls. It was a very wholesome, professional and productive environment to be in during my time on the island. I'd love to come and stay again! Thankyou team ☺️❤️

This is the perfect opportunity for anyone who loves the organization and animals. the organization does amazing work, and of course you get to spend your days surrounded with the organization, ducks, cats, goats, parrots, cows and more as you explore the island in your free time. The work is easy and Qinqin is a great host who makes you feel valued and supported. If you're okay biking every day, working with the organization, and spending your days lounging on the beach then this opportunity is ideal. You'll have a great time and meet some awesome people from around the world too.
