Summary
Boston, MA, April 23, 2010 --( While volunteers get involved in planting, harvesting, and preparing elephant food, these gentle giants are left to roam nearby, unchained and free to forage.Working days start early but they are complimented by long breaks during the mid-day heat with time to relax and catch the sun, or teach and learn with the mahouts who’s home volunteers will share during the program.Surin Province is located in Isaan, North-eastern Thailand where there is efficient transport, cheap accommodation and variety to suit all tastes and budgets.### Boston, MA, April 23, 2010 --( PR.com )-- Saved from begging on city streets, the endangered Thai elephants are being reintroduced into their natural habitat by GVI and their partners.Ancient temples left behind from the Angkor civilization are nearby, and it’s a short 3-hour drive after crossing into Cambodia to reach the spectacular Angkor Wat temple complex.By seeing the profound difference this program is making on the lives of each elephant and the people involved firsthand, the question is likely to be how long volunteers will wish to extend their stay on the project...For more information on all of Global Vision International’s (GVI) projects, please visit http://www.gvi.co.uk or http://www.gviusa.com.About Global Vision International (GVI)Global Vision International (GVI) is an internationally based volunteer abroad organization which offers volunteer programs in Africa, South America, Asia, Europe and Latin America.
