Description
Hi!! My name Is Kate, and within the past two years I have fallen in love with traveling. I grew up In New Hampshire, a small state on the northern east coast of the United States. I spent my days hiking the White Mountains, camping, surfing, kayaking, doing yoga, working with little kiddos, and many other things. I got my scuba diving certification in Honduras, and fell in love with the underwater world.

Laissé par le workawayer (Kate) pour l'hôte (Nonprofit farm animal ...)

I had planned on taking a gap year after graduating in the summer of 2021. I spent months deciding what to do, where to go, and how to kickstart my plans into action. One morning I was looking on Workaway, and came across this listing. I read through the description, read all of the reviews and knew that this sanctuary was a place I wanted to… read more spend my time. I was immediately jumping for joy when Ellie, the volunteer coordinator, messaged me back for an interview. After talking with Ellie and Helena, I became even more excited. I booked my flight and made my way from New Hampshire to Hawaii. I was picked up at the airport by one of the interns who was the sweetest, and most outgoing person I had ever met. I arrived at the sanctuary and was overwhelmed by kindness and beauty. The sanctuary sits on a pretty high elevation, and when you turn around you are surrounded by the ocean with some of the most breathtaking views. Right from the start Helena (The owner) welcomed me with open arms and the biggest smile.

I spent around four months at this amazing place and have nothing but good things to say. Working at the sanctuary is a good amount of work (working from around 7am-6pm, with multiple breaks in the day) but I have never met such an amazing community to support you. The people that Helena has surrounded herself with are incredible, from the local volunteers, to the live in admin team (Ray and John). Being surrounded by a community who wants to go above and beyond to improve the lives of animals, made my heart so full.

I hadn't worked with animals a ton before, but after these four months I have learned so much. Before coming to the sanctuary I had been vegan for a few years and always fostered a love for animals. I developed an even stronger connection with all of the animals, and really got to see their personalities. From Vincent (The star of the Sanctuary) who has the funniest and most sassy personality, to Menina who absolutely loves to eat anything you put in front of her. Every single animal who lives there is treated with the utmost respect, given the best care, and of course given tons of hugs and cuddles. Helena works all day making sure that all of the animals are cared for to the best of her ability. I would watch her perform countless hoof trims, vaccinations, fecals, amongst other things. She was always making sure that any animal she was performing health checks on had plenty of food, water, and of course love. Helena is the most compassionate, kind hearted, loyal, and funniest person I have ever met, and if you decide to volunteer at the sanctuary your experience will be nothing but phenomenal.

(Excellent )
