I have never been a part of a volunteer program like this before — especially doing so alone. With that said, this was an experience like nothing I have ever experienced before. I will never forget the time that I spent volunteering in VWI caring for elephants. The process to make this happen, all thanks to VWI Volunteer, was extremely easy.
Aniston– :
I really loved my experience volunteering at the Elephant program. It does involve a lot of hard work, it’s so rewarding and something I will never forget. I made so many Indian friends, and you get to see a lot of different animals on a daily basis on the jaipur streets which is really nice. Over time you get to see all of the elephant’s different personalities and it’s really amazing to be involved with their daily care. Although challenging, especially doing care work, I would definitely do this again.
