I’ve just returned from an incredible three weeks at the Elephant Forest Refuge in Thailand – a gift to myself for my 80th birthday and truly one of the best experiences of my life. Learning about the 22 rescued elephants and the hardships they endured in the logging, trekking, and tourism industries was deeply moving. Being part of their recovery – feeding, cleaning, showering, and walking with these beloved elephants – was both emotional and immensely rewarding.
The sense of camaraderie among volunteers of all ages, united by a shared purpose, was unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone considering volunteering abroad.
