Amazing experience

Volunteering at Kindred Spirit was truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Seeing elephants roaming and foraging in their natural environment was breathtaking. Not only do I feel I contributed to the welfare of these majestic creatures, but I also feel that I benefited the local community. My home-stay family was so welcoming and made me feel at home living in their rural village and the kids at the local school were so enthusiastic during my English lesson. This is a great program!
