I enjoyed my time volunteering at the organization! The work was interesting and straightforward, and I learned a lot about conservation biology while having the opportunity to engage in some of the projects myself. I would definitely recommend this experience!

I really enjoyed the island and the people I was with but I think there can be a lot improved organizational and in the way of communication.

First of all no concerns where communicated to us during the time of the program.We had no problem with this person their work was good and they where very motivated and organized.It would seem that there was some dissatisfaction with host and staff. When she came to us we had two of the three members supporting the program in hospital for health reasons totally unrelated to the program suddenly and we where challenged .We expected more understanding especially with the terms they signed up .

The whole experience was ok. I am a zoology student who went in hopes of gaining experience in environmental sustainability. If you want to have a lovely holiday in Greece with very minimal work this is for you, if you want an education and to make a real impact on ecology, conservation and sustainability this is perhaps not the place. I still had a lovely time meeting the other volunteers and living on a remote Greek island. The accommodation was basic but that's what I expected. The work was almost non existent with only an hour or two a day. Ted did not interact with us much as I thought.

This is a person who simply did not show up for their previous volunteering post that had we known it before we accepted her we would not have done so. We had no problems with her on site .Obviously none of the specifics of the program described by her is true. Also they signed to absolute confidentiality that they obviously violated here so Hanna we ask you publically to remove this review for these two reasons.
