Seldom do you find an organization who has their heart in the right place. It was an absolute priviledge to volunteer with Askari. Their passion and knowledge is evident in everything they do. I left feeling like I’d acheived something and that’s all a volunteer ever wants. Katie, Robbie and the rest of the staff at Askari were amazing. Being halfway accross the world would have usually been a big step for me. The staff were great through. I instantly felt like I was welcomed as a part of their team. It’s difficult to describe my time at Askari in a way that does the experience justice, but I’d do it a thousand times over. It was a life changing 2 weeks where I learnt just as much about myself as I did the bush. I am forever grateful to have had this experience.
