Volunteering work - 6:30 am to 5:00 pm

not used to it. Not to the working hours - my friends and colleagues know, that I am a pationate late-riser -
and neither to the physical work. My feet are complaining.

Ok, here is a dutch guy with a vision: Thailands wild animals like monkeys, gibbons, tigers and bears belong into the wilderness and not in homes, restaurants or souvenir-stalls. If there is not enough wilderness left - we try to reforest and develop nationalparks. If people like to have sweet little gibbons as pets - try to change law and Thai-attitude with teaching Thai-children. And meanwhile give neglected and exploited wild animals and those suffering from improper care a new home as near to their natural environment as possible.

At the Wildlife rescue center they have a lot of animals to care for. Over 200 monkeys and gibbons, about 20 bears, a tiger and other kinds. And there is dayly work to do to care for them. And this is done by about 30 volunteers and experienced Thai-staff.
