Over het programma

The wildlife sanctuary was formed as small family run foundation that aims to help
endangered species , wild animals or mistreated animals rehabilitate back into the wild or
into proper care. Most of the animals in the sanctuary have been seized by the
government due to illegal possession or inhumane treatment and require special care to be
rehabilitated. Not all animals are able to be rehabilitated, and some spend their days in the
sanctuary under special care and proper conditions.
Some of the animals in the sanctuary include: condors,various monkey species, bears,
wild felines,parakeets,llamas,and other species.
Volunteers working in the wildlife sanctuary can help in a myriad of tasks according to
availability and skills. Volunteers must be motivated , flexible, and willing to get their
hands dirty and understand that caring for the animals is not playing with the animals
necessarily.

Over de organisatie

Integrated Learning Experiences was founded in 2005 by former Peace Corps staff that wanted to provide flexible volunteer programs with a positive impact.

Ontmoet je organisatie

Integrated Learning Experiences’ (INLEX) mission is to strengthen human resources in Central America and South America through volunteer programs, educational travel and internship opportunities.

In addition to this, INLEX provides opportunities for students and professionals to further gain experience in their field of choice by matching participants with the best opening available.

We work towards:

  • Sustainability in the projects and communities that we work in.
  • Programs that promote cultural exchange.
  • Safe and affordable programs.
  • Strengthening and empowering communities.
  • Authentic experiences for our participants.
  • Facilitating education.

INLEX was set founded by former Peace Corps staff in Guatemala in 2005 who wanted to provide flexible programs for volunteers in Central America. This flexibility allows our participants the option to commit for as long as they want in the area they are best suited to support; creating a positive impact and a rewarding experience. We do this because we believe in the principle that every volunteer can make a difference.

Many years and happy people later, we continue working with key partner projects to develop communities in the Latin American region.
