您好， 我是义工铭芯（Star）。我来自马来西亚，是一名记者。 在前来EW担任义工前，我在网上阅读这篇来自台湾苹果日报的文章，讲述关于在大 象世界担任义工的点点滴滴，内容吸引了我举起脚步来到这里担任义 工。 大象世界（ElephantsWorld）的座右铭是“我们为大象工作，而非大象为我们工 作”（We are working for the elephants, not the elephants for us.）。因此， 我在这里学习到许多保护、关爱动物（尤其是亚洲大象）的知识，甚至从这里认识 了来自世界各地的人，他们都来这里担任至少一个月的义工。在 泰国西北部的大 象世界，我们90%的工作是带领游客认识大象，并提升大家保护大象的意识。此 外，我们也必须为大象准备食物、在社交网上宣传大象的 日常生活和各种新知识 等等。 担任义工的条件如下： 1. 可以以英文对话 2. 21岁以上 3. 爱护动物 4. 合群，并能与各国人士一起合作完成工作 5. 义工生涯为最少一个月（一个月费用为泰币15000，包括住宿、每日三餐、茶饮 及从大象世界至Kanchanaburi的来回交通。） 欲知更多详情，请电邮至 [email protected] 或，若您欲知更多关于义工活动的点滴，可以电邮至我的信箱：[email protected] 台湾苹果日报报导之文章链接为：http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article /supplement/20150713/36661619/
