Media Centre for Volunteer Work with Desert Elephants in Namibia

Colleen McGuire

I have loved elephants ever since I can remember and at the age of 57 I thought it was time I got more involved and it was the best decision I have ever made. Volunteering was an amazing experience, working with the local farmers I found was very humbling, they were so grateful and all we had to do was give our time and effort to build walls around the pumps but it made so much difference to them. As for tracking the Elephants this was just awesome, to be so near to such amazing animals and in the presence of such dedicated people. One thing is sure I will definitely be going back.
