Day 12 - A big day for Honu - Several hours of surgery, and an unexpected, amazing encounter with Manta Rays!
Day 11 More x-rays and a decision for Honu and another special arrival at the sanctuary, thanks to the visiting vet program
Day 10 and it's all about buoyancy issues, trapped air and a worrying X-ray result for Honu
Day 9 and Pash is getting into a routine now! We might even struggle to get her to come home, despite all those blisters from raking sand and cleaning tanks! After over a week at [...]
Day 8 and a supermodel volunteers for a day, a bird visits the sanctuary for drink, a turtle loses part of it's shell and Pash searches for Harry...all in a day's work at the Olive Ridley Project!
Day 7 and today Pash convinces Honu to eat crayfish, tells us about the sanctuary favourite among guests - Disco, and how the resort marked the world wide event Earth Hour.
Day 6 and after those demon caterpillars yesterday, Pash needed to pull her big girl pants up and get on with the tasks of tank cleaning, sea swims, injured fins and turtle Tetris!
It's already day five and today the sanctuary is under attack from.... caterpillars! Not only did the centre suffer from terrible storms overnight but the caterpillars were everywhere! Pash was not impressed!
Already four days into Pash's volunteering experience and she has done and learned so much! Today it was all about turtle spas, duck dives and surreal lightening!
