Well what can I say?.....Volunteering with The Great Projects at Samboja Lestari Rehabilitation Centre was one of the best experiences of my life. It exceeded all my expectations. The two weeks spent there was very well organised and we took part in various activities ranging from making stimulating food enrichment items for both the orangutans and sun bears, cleaning of the enclosures, preparing food and lending our hands to maintenance and construction projects. It was great to see some projects finished, like the food platform on one of the islands, and the other project, banking up an erosion area on another of the orangutan's island, which will be completed soon. Although it was hard work at times, I felt rewarded, humbled and privileged working with the great orangutans and the cute sun bears. I came away feeling I had made a difference securing a future for the orangutans and helping to restore their habitat. If you are thinking about going, stop thinking, just do it!
