    Hi! I'm looking into volunteering in some sort of animal conservation or refuge project next summer. I found one Organisation called Inti Wara Yassi in Bolivia which is alot cheaper than other ones i was looking at (on www.workingabroad.com ).
    Just wondering if any other Irish people have been to, or heard of this, and what they thought of it.
    If anyone wants to suggest other animal related volunteer programmes that would be great too :)

    Inti Wara is a great place. I met loads of people in South America who worked there and loved it. Just bring long clothes to fend of the mozzies!

    Workingabroad's only aim to make as much money as possible out of you. That's why it's expensive. Inti Wara on the other hand is a charity.
