Giant Pandas: The Few, The Adored


This Monday (July 27th), I'm leaving for China to volunteer at the Ya'An Conservation Center in Sichuan Province. There, I will be helping care for Giant Pandas, by helping the caretakers with their daily routines: preparing the Pandas' food, feeding them, cleaning their living space, and working on maintenance projects.

I am so excited and I cannot wait until Monday rolls around. I have always adored Pandas, and I am keen to help them in any way that I can. I am perhaps a little nervous, but the nervousness is mostly due to the daunting 14-hour plane trip there.

To make this volunteer opportunity successful I must do all that I personally can do to help protect the Giant Pandas, keep an open mind and a postive outlook, and also have fun.

Monday is slowly coming, I'll just have to wait.
