The most memorable part of the internship was getting to see more of Brisbane during our time off. My co-interns are very friendly and intelligent! I went to Brisbane five years ago, but this time is so much better. I explored areas I never knew existed and I discovered life-long friendships with my fellow interns. Shout out to Janna and Louis, who I met through IGS. It was a wonderful time with you, and you are wonderful people. Shout out also to IGS, who is very supportive to us since day one....

This is the best summer internship I had! I am a veterinary medicine student, and here, we have gone through intensive training to learn the basics of animal care in just a few days. The training lessons are concise yet comprehensive. We are given different responsibilities and luckily converse with people who are visitors in the sanctuaries. My vetmed friends are to apply in this venture next month! I would love to go with them again! Crossed fingersssss
