We're proud to display the top photo as the winning shot for the month of October from our St Lucia conservation education through photography project! Annabel Vere was one of our very first volunteers at this pioneering project, and here are some of her thoughts on her experience....
Q: Were you given sufficient training in terms of instructions for the tasks and duties you were involved in? If not how could we improve our training and in what areas?
A: I felt that I had the freedom to do my own thing which I believe worked effectively
Q: What were some of the highlights of your placement with us?
A: The people are amazing, the backdrop astounding – the combination leaving you speechless with a smile!
Q: Could you please explain your true feelings and thoughts about this Program? What do you think you gained from your volunteer experience?
A: I gained knowledge of how Zulu rural villages are. I learned a lot about African wildlife, its needs and dangers. I learned about how to use my camera properly and how to photograph animals. I learned about the world heritage sites in South Africa and made lots of gorgeous friends!
