Meaningful Moments and Memorable Adventures Abroad
February 18, 2026by: Manny KongProgram: Ecuador - Wild Animal Rescue Shelter
Planting trees in a local school, we get to do something meaningful. And we played ball games with students, even if we don't speak the same language, but we played well. Also participate in birthday party for a lady, played bingo with local senior citizens. It was very warm and nice.<br>Aside from these, we have seen so many special animals, spectacular scenery.
I wish them the very best

Yana Cocha has fulfilled every thing I ever wanted from my volunteer experience with wildlife. I wish them the very best and hope goeco continues to help their great rescue mission with help from volunteers the best possible way you can.
Great experience

The most memorable experience i am taking home from the sanctuary is the release of the scooter monkeys & turtles. It's such an overwhelming experience.. To know that the teams work along w the monkeys will, to return to a place they once called home.
