Best time
by: Kat Nicola - British Virgin IslandsProgram: Penguin Rehabilitation in South AfricaHaving the chance to volunteer with Sanccob was amazing and to live in a nice environment whilst doing so was great. We were able to get able to get involved in more than i would imagined at the project so it was great to have this experience.
