Great rescue project

August 30, 2018by: Sam Warren - GermanyProgram: Volunteer with Monkeys in Argentina

I loved helping the monkeys, they were so interesting to work with. It was a pleasure to help the project in their mission to rescue and care for them. I want to work in conservation one day and this was a great insight into the plight of trafficked animals. I learnt a lot from the staff and other volunteers. The accommodation was pretty basic at the sanctuary but as expected. Argentina was great and I hope to return again to explore the country more.
