It’s important to make the people understand what is the purpose of the rescue center and why we can’t release right away the animals. It was an amazing experience and I’ll do it again and again everything I’ll have the opportunity. Thanks again.

Exceptional for the Flores program; coordinators friendly & attractive, I learned a lot about local life, I felt useful doing the project. Good team in Flores. They made the experience really wonderful.
