About Program
We are looking for volunteers to come out and help our brand new elephant sanctuary in Northern Thailand. Our sanctuary has just rescued 4 elephants from the tourism industry & we have now brought them home to live out their lives in the forest, in semi-wild conditions. We need volunteers to help us keep these elephants in their natural habitat, carry out health checks, collect some research on their natural behaviors & on the forest, as well as take part in community projects such as teaching English at the school & to the locals, cutting grass for the elephants during dry season, helping out in the fields & educating the locals & tourists to combat illegal trade. Volunteers will also be expected to help us look after any visitors & educate them on the real elephant situation in Thailand.
Volunteers must pay a fee to cover all expenses, details & bookings are found on our website
