VOLUNTEER PROFILE: Emma
Emma with Westhaven Barry

"Westhaven Barry, Lighthouse Chubby Cheeks, Birthday Girl, Settlement Point Bea – these are just a few of the new friends I made while volunteering at the Koala Hospital and, yes, you guessed it, they are of the grey and furry variety! Not that I didn’t meet wonderful people also.

My stay as a volunteer was one of the most enriching experiences I have ever had. Everyone, humans and koalas alike, were so welcoming and it was so great to know everyone was there embodying the same spirit. The ultimate goal, of course, is to care for these koalas so that they may return healthy to their home ranges."
