#Grew into a proactive person who takes the initiative to approach others #A desire to understand the nature of animals #Felt unity through a shared caring for animals

I enjoyed meeting various animals and people who love animals while staying in Singapore! During the volunteer work, I felt a sense of community as strangers came together with the shared desire to care for the animals, I loved being able to experience multiple cultures at once in Singapore, a multi-ethnic city.

Hello! I am an adult who has just graduated from high school!

Hello! I''ve just graduated from high school, hehe
When I was wondering what to do before graduating, I remembered a gap year project I''d had my eye on for a while. While looking through the projects, since I was especially interested in animals, I applied for the Singapore wildlife rescue overseas volunteer program.I joined this overseas volunteer gap year because I wanted to take the opportunity to travel abroad alone and gain experiences.
*For Jeong Ye-jin, who wanted time to think about new challenges and her future and to grow, daily tailored one-on-one personal missions offering unique challenges, opportunities to consider her life''s direction, and relaxed time were provided, and a Gap Year Note to reflect on herself and make plans was also provided.
>> Entry fee 100 won! Go to the Gap Year mission
*For Jeong Ye-jin, who wanted time to think about new challenges and her future and to grow,daily tailored 1:1 personal missions offering activities for unique challenges, chances to ponder life direction, and leisurely time were provided, and a Gap Year Note to reflect and make plans was provided.
I wanted to practice standing on my own in the world through this gap year!

My goal in this Singapore overseas volunteer gap year was to practice standing on my own in the world and to put into action my caring for animals myself.
Before leaving for Singapore I booked my plane ticket first and prepared for departure by packing summer clothes. And since Singapore is a country with good public safety, even though it was my first solo trip, I wasn''t too worried, hehe.
I enjoyed meeting various animals and people who love animals!

So I arrived in Singapore and the overseas volunteer schedule began.Above all, I was glad to be able to go to a wildlife conservation volunteer organization and meet various animals, and to meet people who love animals.
I was moved to see not only the staff at the local volunteer organization but also friends who had come from around the world volunteering — their genuine love for the animals came through.

And thinking back to how I initially couldn''t easily start conversations with the volunteers I worked with,By the time I was leaving, I was proud of how much I''d grown—I''d easily start conversations and even exchanged Instagram IDs! :)

Also, through this overseas volunteer work, whereas before I loved animals mostly for their appearance, now I have a desire to understand their lives and essence as well.
What does a typical day look like for the Singapore animal rescue project?
