Volunteer with endangered wildlife at LCTW

I had the best experience at LCTW. The staff is very welcoming and fun to work with, their knowledge about wildlife is great and they are always eager to teach you new stuff about it.

The volunteer area is also very comfortable with everything you need at proximity of your bungalow. I had the best sleep there, it is very peaceful and you wake up to the gibbons calling! There also is a great resort 3 minutes away from the center where you can jump in the pool and eat good Lao food for free!

The staff are so helpful and friendly. They work hard to accommodate the different work levels and personalities of the volunteers and included us in fun staff after hours events. There are a lot of different activities to assist with onsite and the staff are great at sharing information about the animals on and off site.

You can tell that everyone cares about the welfare of the animals, and the variety is wide. I love that they strive to release every animal possible. The clinic is great, and all the new developments are exciting.

LCTW is truly a place where you feel that you’re making a difference! They are releasing animals back into the wild constantly and the enclosures before that are massive, giving the animals the best chance for rehabilitation.

As a volunteer you’re involved and every day is different. The staff and fellow volunteers make the days fly by so fast. You get up close to the animals without touching them and are located in the jungle, making your time at LCTW an experience of a lifetime! Cannot recommend enough!

This volunteer programme is excellent, I had the best time here. The volunteer co-ordinators are super friendly and you feel very at home straight away. The accommodation is really cute and it's amazing to listen to the Jackals at night and the Gibbons when you wake up in the morning. During the day you will be helping clean quarantine enclosures, creating enrichments for the animals and helping build new enclosures and renovate old ones. You can directly see how you are improving the lives of animals at the centre. Watching the bears enjoy fruit ice lollies which you have made them is amazing, it's such a satisfying feeling to see the animals enjoying life. The Vet's on site are awesome too, and are always happy to explain which animals they are treating currently and why if you are interested in the medical side of things. All the staff are so passionate and really care about the mission here. The centre is located in a rural town of Laos, you get to experience what life in Laos is really like, meet the locals and enjoy the easy-going lifestyle. You won't be disappointed.
