was very helpful

Everyone on the GoEco team was very responsive and easy to communicate with. From start to finish, this group was very helpful, as well as the other workers within the shelter. I would definitely do another program if the opportunity presents itself.

I’m proud of myself

Because of the bushfire in Australia, it freaked me out but all the supporters from GoEco put my feeling relieved and also I’m proud of myself I could be part of this project!! It was different situation than usual, but i will never forget about this experience!

This was an incredible experience

This was an incredible experience that I will never forget. I loved getting to know the staff and having fun while also getting the job done. I got to engage with animals that I’ve only dreamed of seeing. Everyone apart of this project were so kind. I came to Australia to do this volunteering to gain knowledge and experience with animals, I got more than that. I formed bonds with the animals and the people there. I highly recommend volunteering through this project.
