点评:Antelope Park is truly one of the most memorable places I have ever experienced, and I can honestly say it changed me as a person.
I was mainly involved in the community projects and wildlife work, and both were incredibly rewarding. The community initiatives felt impactful and well thought-out, and it was great to be part of projects that genuinely support local people rather than just observing from the outside. The wildlife side was equally memorable, giving real insight into conservation work and the challenges involved.
I originally went for three weeks and ended up extending my stay for an extra week, which says a lot about how much I was enjoying the experience. I met some amazing people and made some amazing friendships.
I also had some horse riding lessons with Ted, and I can’t thank him enough for his patience — especially for putting up with me and the diva I definitely was at times.
The staff I worked with on these projects were knowledgeable, supportive, and clearly passionate about what they do, which made a big difference to the overall experience. There’s a real sense of purpose at Antelope Park, and you really feel that your time there is being used well.
Since getting home, I’ve realised just how much I miss Antelope Park — the lifestyle, the environment, and especially the people. I left feeling like I’d gained a lot personally, and I already know I’ll be back — next time for a longer stay so I can get even more involved. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience.
翻译:羚羊公园真是我经历过的最难忘的地方之一,我可以毫不夸张地说,它改变了我。
我主要参与了社区项目和野生动物保护工作,这两项工作都让我受益匪浅。社区项目意义重大,经过深思熟虑,能够参与到真正支持当地居民的项目中,而不是仅仅在一旁观望,这种感觉非常棒。野生动物保护工作同样令人难忘,让我对保护工作及其面临的挑战有了更深刻的了解。
我原本计划待三周,结果又延长了一周,这足以说明我有多么享受这段经历。我结识了一些很棒的人,也建立了非常珍贵的友谊。
我还跟泰德上了骑马课,我非常感谢他的耐心——尤其是他包容了我,以及我有时像个小公主一样耍脾气。
与我一起参与这些项目的工作人员知识渊博、乐于助人,并且对自己的工作充满热情,这极大地提升了我的整体体验。在羚羊公园,你会真切地感受到一种使命感,你会觉得在那里度过的时光物有所值。
回家后,我意识到自己有多么想念羚羊公园——那里的生活方式、环境,尤其是那里的人们。离开时,我感觉自己收获颇丰,而且我已经知道自己一定会再回来——下次要待更久一些,以便更深入地参与其中。我无比感激这次经历。
