Feedback from Alaska VolunteersHere are some of the emails we have received from volunteers about their experiences in Alaska."I never really thanked you properly for all your assistance and enthusiasm. I appreciated your help with the bags and the whole introduction process in Soldotna. I had an amazing experience in Alaska and that is all thanks to you and your good efforts. Without Volunteers for Alaska working in partnership with Global Volunteer Network, I probably would not have made it to Alaska, at least not for some years. Once again thank you." Mike "I really enjoyed my time in Alaska and hope I'll get back someday! Homer was great - and the experience really confirmed my desire to work in environmental education. Since getting back I've been working on a voluntary basis with 4 conservation/environmental places to gain experience. This has paid off as I now have my first paid job!! There is no doubt the Alaskan experience helped!" Caroline The weather here has been dreary for a few weeks but yesterday and today have been beautiful with temperature in the 70's and sunshine all day. My time at the ASLC could not be better. Everyone is friendly and I have learned so much! Yesterday on my day off I went for a boat ride in Resurrection Bay and saw several killer whales. I work 5 days a week at the "Touch Tank" talking to visitors and answering questions about the different invertebrates in the pool that they are able to touch. [�] It's great! The staff at the Sea Life Center are very professional, friendly, flexible and caring. They encourage you to become part of the team. Mandy Morell's "Volunteers for Alaska" gave me an outstanding once-in-a-lifetime experience. Becky |
