Fantastic Experience

Program: Elephant Volunteer Work & Animal Conservation in India

10

Doing a Volunteer work with elephants in Jaipur was a wonderful experience. First of all, thanks to our host family they take care us well. They not only shared incredible love but also very informative, patient and gave us plenty of options during our stay. At first on our day 1, I must admit I was rather timid around the elephants but after thirty minutes I felt like I had made some new best friends. During our stay my wife, some friends and I learned how to feed the elephants and establish a relationship. Soon, we were doing things I never imagined like bathing and feeding the elephants from close-up. Doing a care work with elephants isn't just a fun experience but a true bonding experience between you and these wonderful, mysterious animals. Not only do you leave with a greater understanding of the species but an appreciation for mahouts efforts in creating a serene and humane habitat for the elephants. If you're going to India spend at least 1 weeks with them.

I worked 1 week in the Program. It was very impressive to be so close to the Elephants. Everything was well organized and exceeded my expectations. Also the accommodation and the host family was very nice. Hopefully I will find the time to go back again.

I decided when I was organising my trip to India that I wanted to perform some service and give back to the community. I did some research and found the opportunities provided by Volunteering with India to serve and experience new and exciting cultural traditions. I was also particularly interested in helping the children in India, as I had recently learnt of their plight and hardships they experience on a daily basis.
