Last Monday the GSPCA welcomed the second Voluntourist group of 2018 from the Crystal Serenity.

9 passengers from the ship were greeted by GSPCA staff member Rual Gomez.

The Voluntourists who were on their holidays from around the world arrived at the Shelter just after 9am and had a short induction and were then sent to help the staff and care for the many animals at the GSPCA.

Each received a gift of a GSPCA t-shirt to wear for their half day volunteering caring for the many animals at the GSPCA.

All 9 had an extremely enjoyable time and before they left were given a behind the scenes guided tour where they met the many reptiles and found out about the history of the Shelter and Guernsey.

The GSPCA has been running voluntourist days since 2014 with the Crystal Cruises.

The group before left they were presented with a thank you certificate for all of their help.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We really enjoyed having all of the Voluntourists Marcia Lucas, Carolyn Orens, Doug Orens, Crystal Brinkmann, Dick Brickmann, Tim Cline, Kerrie Douglas, Bennet Pang and Gracie La Cachon helping at the GSPCA from the Crystal Serenity last Monday."

"They all had a wonderful time and it was a pleasure to meet them all, and from all of the team at the GSPCA thank you to all 9 for their help with cleaning and caring for the animals."

"There are many ways to get involved at the GSPCA and we always love to hear from those wanting to volunteer at the Shelter."

“This Friday 27th July at 3.30pm we have a volunteer induction which is open to anyone interested in helping out at the GSPCA.”
