Aaron took part in a European Solidarity Corps volunteering team in September 2024 in Abatino Animal Shelter, Italy, supporting the sanctuary and the rescue centre for local and exotic fauna.<\/em><\/p>\n Il progetto \u00e8 stato coordinato dall'Associazione Kora e finanziato dalla Commissione europea attraverso il programma del Corpo europeo di solidariet\u00e0 e dall'Agenzia italiana per i giovani.<\/em><\/p>\n This is his experience!<\/em><\/p>\n My name is Aaron from Belgium, travelling\u00a0by day, dancing by night. As I discover the\u00a0varied landscapes of Europe, I like to lend\u00a0my helping hand in all kinds of projects,\u00a0mainly supporting sustainability\u00a0organisations. This way I reach personal\u00a0goals of learning new crafts (permaculture,\u00a0building competences and animal care) and\u00a0contribute my part to this floating ball\u00a0hosting all of us.<\/p>\n When I chose to come to this project, the first motivations shooting through my head were to\u00a0learn more about myself in communication with animals. As we all know, other beings are a\u00a0mirror of our inner world and behaviour. When you look well and accept without taking things\u00a0too personal, you will find great wisdom in an animals reaction. We fed the animals, built a workshop and revitalised living space. The employees and long\u00a0term volunteers taught us a lot about animals, their behaviour, building competences and\u00a0team work. All of this we take home, supporting us as we pave our path through life.

\nThen reading more about the project and its endeavours, I felt like these brave people, hosting\u00a0these brave animals, are worth all our time and support. And there\u2019s no better way to do this\u00a0in an international group of motivated and enthusiast young adults.<\/p>\n
\nIf someone ever doubts coming to a project like this, I would quote a very famous company:\u00a0\u201cjust do it\u201d. Okay, it can be scary to suddenly live together with such a bit group and doing all\u00a0these new things. Just remember: you are free to speak your mind, with like-minded people,\u00a0supported from start to finish, in an endeavour broadening your world.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
