A Wildlife Rescue Centre in Belgium is looking for an EVS volunteer
A wildlife hospital is an unusual place with special needs and atmosphere run by mostly volunteers. We want to give not only local but also international volunteers with interests in wildlife rescue the possibility to get unique experiences. An international volunteer can have a different point of view in these matters, which can be refreshing for the local volunteers. Many of our staff and volunteers had in the past good contacts with international organisations and people abroad. This was one of the extra motivations to start with the project. Thus, wildlife hospital will be this project's working location in order to stimulate the resource to a working environment that not only contributes from the volunteer's own interests and knowledge but also allows his/her personal growth and realization as an active participant.
In this project, you will be an employee in our Wildlife Rescue Centre. You will take care of the animals, but also meet a lot of other EVS and local volunteers.
