Check Yan's blog post on the GoEco Volunteer Blog about working at this project in Israel Here's an excerpt from his story

' I was exposed to the magical beauty of the unique desert of Israel, I met the most amazing people – both volunteers and staff – whom I still keep in contact with today. I even have a trip planned next year with friends I met here. I saw wild nature – sunrises, sunsets: quiet and peaceful – freedom for the eyes. I was exposed to the lives of animals on the reservation both day and night and saw what a guest to Hai Bar would not see even after 20 visits'
