Description

The Global Volunteer Network has opportunities available to work with wild animals through our partner organization in Thailand. Most of the animals residing at the sanctuary were maltreated before they arrived here, suffering from abuse, malnutrition, neglect and improper care, rescued from the illegal pet trade, or have previously been exploited for the tourism industry. Many of the animals arrive with permanent disabilities and hence, cannot be returned to the wild. The centre's mission is to give these animals the best quality of life possible in captivity.

Requirements

As a volunteer you must:



* be in good physical condition, be able to walk long distances and be able to tolerate heat;

* be 18 years old or over

* be available for a minimum of four weeks

* be able to speak English

* be able to work without assistance

* be able to work well with others and adapt to group living

* we are looking for volunteers with a similar ideology to that of the reserve, so people that have worked in the area of training animals for exhibition, or for the benefit of humans are not suitable for this program.
