Quotes from the field

"What an amazing experience this has been! Each day here at GVI base is a gift, although the base is rustic and has no electricity or hot water. I found that didn’t matter. Community days are incredible! It’s very gratifying to spend time with the local school children. On our second community outing we had a number of activities for the children to participate in. Mine was a spoon and marble race. The kids were so excited and had a blast. One group, team name hippos, completely surrounded me giving me hugs from all sides, one girl even tickled me. I will cherish that memory for a lifetime. GVI is a phenomenal organisation." Tess Hill, USA, Feb 2008

"My best experience at Venetia was going out on my first working drive. It was a find-all drive and wow, what a long, hot day! But it was so totally worth it. I have worked with many different species of animals before, including ones from Africa, but only in zoos. Nothing can top the experience of seeing your first lion, or having a bull elephant mock-charge your vehicle in the wild. All of which happened on my very first drive! Being able to see the herds of impala, zebra, wildebeest and more is so incredible – everyone should be able to experience it at least once in their lives. I’m so happy I took a chance asking for a leave of absence from work to come out here. It was one of the best decisions of my life!" Katrina Smith, USA, March 2008
