Amazing
by: Kaitlyn - CanadaProgram: Elephant Conservation in CambodiaVolunteering at the Elephant Conservation Project in Cambodia was nothing short of amazing. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent and if anyone had any dietary restrictions the cooks were extremely accommodating. It was great to be able to learn the histories of all of the elephants as well as actively work to make their lives better.
Happy

I was happy to feel like I was contributing - even in a small way. Simply being in their presence fills you with awe; elephants are amazing creatures!
