Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Posted by Connor Whelan on 25th Dec 2015

Here at The Great Projects we would like to take this chance to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Throughout 2015 our volunteers and staff at our many project sites worked incredibly hard to try and change the lives of endangered animals all around the world. We are hoping that 2016 will be just as productive and together we can continue to improve animal welfare.

All of the world’s animals, not only those at the project sites, still need to be cared for and looked after regardless of the time of year, so all we ask is that you spare a thought for the vets, keepers, and assistants that will be looking after all of the animals over this busy time period.

From everyone here at the office we hope you manage to get some rest over the Christmas period and come back ready to volunteer in 2016!
