Memorable
July 07, 2019by: Callie BelskisThe friendships and weekend adventures to local islands were very memorable, but I thoroughly enjoyed my volunteering with the lemurs. The local staff of Green Lion were very helpful and GoEco kept in contact with me the entire experience. This was a very memorable program set in a beautiful location, not everyone can say they have been to Madagascar! The other volunteers were doing other projects which if I wanted to was able to join which was a nice way to learn about the community.
