Help me make a Difference: Volunteering in South Africa
Doação protegida
Hi everyone,
My name is Ciara and I am incredibly excited to share that in March, I will be starting an exciting six-month adventure in South Africa, dedicating my time to volunteering with four incredible wildlife conservation and community support organizations. With a degree in zoology this experience will allow me to dedicate my time, knowledge, and skills to helping animals in need, and also supporting underprivileged communities - But I need your help to make it possible.
I will be working with:
1. CARE (Centre for Animal Rehabilitation and Education): A sanctuary that rehabilitates orphaned baboons, providing them with a second chance at life in the wild. https://www.primatecare.org
2. HAART (Hoedspruit Animal Outreach): A program that vaccinates dogs and educates children in rural communities about animal care and welfare, creating a lasting impact on both people and their pets. https://www.haartallanimals.org
3. LEO Africa (Lion, Elephant, and Other): A conservation organization dedicated to monitoring and protecting African wildlife, such as lions, elephants, and rhinos, from the devastating threat of poaching. https://www.leoafrica.org
4. Umoya Khulula Wildlife Centre: A rescue and rehabilitation centre specializing in the care of trafficked wildlife, with a particular focus on pangolins - the world's most trafficked mammal due to the illegal trade of their keratin scales. https://umoyakhululawildlife.org
Each of these organizations are non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that receive no funding from the government. They rely entirely on the work of volunteers and the generosity of donations to carry out their essential work.
This opportunity means so much to me because it allows me to directly contribute to the well-being of vulnerable animals and communities that rely on conservation efforts. However, volunteering abroad comes with significant costs including accommodation, and resources needed to support these vital initiatives.
I am reaching out to ask for your support - any donation, big or small, will help me make a significant difference. Your generosity will contribute to the essential work of these life-saving organizations.
Thank you for your kindness and support in helping me make a positive impact on wildlife conservation.
Please consider donating and sharing my GoFundMe page to spread the word.
Thank you sincerely,
Ciara.
