When my cousin Clara told me about Indie\u2019s World, I immediately said yes. Taking care of dogs and giving them a second chance instantly made me want to go to Mauritius to help Indie\u2019s World in my own way. I never had a dog growing up \u2014 I was always more surrounded by cats \u2014 but I was always interested in dogs and enjoyed taking care of them when I could. The idea of having one always tempted me, and when I found myself taking care of 110 dogs, I immediately understood that dogs would have a big place in my life. Indie\u2019s World was an incredibly enriching experience for me. I learned so much about dogs and about myself. I encourage anyone who is still hesitating to take part in this amazing experience to go for it \u2014 it can only bring you good things. I thank the Indie\u2019s family from the bottom of my heart, and I say \u201csee you soon,\u201d because I\u2019m sure my adventure there is not over.

Former volunteers Discover their testimonials Being on a gap year, I was looking for an association to volunteer with for a while. When my cousin Clara told me about Indie\u2019s World, I immediately said yes. Taking care of dogs and giving them a second chance instantly made me want to go to Mauritius to help Indie\u2019s World in my own way. I never had a dog growing up \u2014 I was always more surrounded by cats \u2014 but I was always interested in dogs and enjoyed taking care of them when I could. The idea of having one always tempted me, and when I found myself taking care of 110 dogs, I immediately understood that dogs would have a big place in my life. Indie\u2019s World was an incredibly enriching experience for me. I learned so much about dogs and about myself. I encourage anyone who is still hesitating to take part in this amazing experience to go for it \u2014 it can only bring you good things. I thank the Indie\u2019s family from the bottom of my heart, and I say \u201csee you soon,\u201d because I\u2019m sure my adventure there is not over. And who knows \u2014 maybe next time I\u2019ll be coming back with a travel companion \ud83d\ude42 Candice Spending a month at Indie\u2019s World was an extraordinary experience. I lived through painful moments and difficult goodbyes, but I also keep in mind many moments of joy, laughter, and love. This experience will leave a mark on my heart. It will also change my life, as I am returning to Switzerland with my little Yang. A big thank you to the whole team, and a special thought for all the dogs. Clara Dear big Indie\u2019s World family, after a rather difficult year, I decided to fly to Mauritius and discover your association, with my physical and mental limits \u2014 which were accepted with such kindness. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of life at the shelter, from maintaining the enclosures, feeding, care, training, and above all giving affection, love, and walks to all the dogs. Thank you for your dedication. I will never forget this wonderful experience with you, and I hope to see you again soon! Leila Loving dogs, I decided to go on a crazy adventure as a volunteer at Indie\u2019s World for one month. One hundred and ten dogs at the shelter to fill our hearts, who thanks to Malika and Cindy have the chance for a second life.Our job is to make their lives better while they wait for adoption. They need us in every possible way \u2014 through volunteering, donations, sponsorship\u2026 A crush was born for me there, not only for a dog but also for the island. It was an unforgettable experience. Indie\u2019s World needs you, go for it !!! Thank you for everything. See you soon. Manon How can you help?
