SHELTER
SITUATION
In normal years August would be the start of many internships and although
we have had many applications from students all over Europe, most have
been cancelled due to the current situation. We still have hope that we
can arrange some of the internships in the fall and we are expecting few
interns to start at the end of August.
Internships are extremely valuable for both the students and the shelter as
it give so much to both sides. The students get to see a completely
different working environment from what they are used to and they get a
lot of hands on experience, which might not be possible in all internship
places. The shelter benefits a lot as well, we get new and passionate
people to volunteer at the shelter, we get new ideas from different
countries and most of all, our animals get new friends who will activate
and pamper them.
We have been extremely satisfied with the schools and students we
co-operate with and the quality of interns has always been high. The
passion and love these young people feel for the animals can be seen in
everything they do and we hope their experiences here will motivate them
to help homeless animals in future too.
