Description: Be part of it with i-to-i!
Our goal is to achieve 400yrs of combined volunteering all over the world by the end of 2008.

So far we have achieved 325yrs which when broken down means we achieved the following:

- Over 5500 children cared for on our community projects around the world
- A minimum of 13,000 children and adults taught English in schools and community centres
- Hundreds of animals protected including Turtles, Pandas, Elephants, Monkeys and more
- At least 80 homes and structures built for families and communities in need
- More than 8000 trees planted which are enough trees to offset the CO2 emissions of over 2,000 cars

Are you a big cat person?

For rainforests think South America, for Kangaroos it's Australia and for beaches head to Asia, but if it's lions you're after then make tracks to South Africa. Set in over 30,000 hectares of African wilderness this project in particular will delight wildlife lovers with rhinos, elephants and leopards all wandering by (but hopefully not too close!) Lions will be your primary focus though, and you'll have the opportunity to actively monitor a lion pride and get up close to these amazing animals. Your help is vital for the immediate and long term success of the project, so your contribution, like your memories, will last long after you return home.
