I am still trying to find words for the to share with you our 2 weeks in the BushCamp. I just loved being around all the animals and the children from the village that comes here for us to help teaching them about the animals and nature. It was my first experience as a volunteer in another country and was just so gratifying. I could learn a lot and also teach. It is for sure a life time experience. Congratulations Michelle and Daktari's team for the wonderful work you've been doing.
