Anawa experience - Feeling the harsh reality that so many dogs and cats face in Colombia is a touching experience. At the same time, having the opportunity to do a bit and support this noble cause through Anawa is deeply rewarding. The work of the foundation, the doctor and her entire team of assistants is admirable: week after week they work with effort and dedication to change lives and give hope to many little animals in street situations. Encourage yourself to live this volunteer experience. Not only will they feel the satisfaction of helping with their own hands, but they will also take valuable and enriching learning. From granite to granite, the impact becomes bigger and stronger❤️. Thank you Anawa for making this experience unique, for working for those who have no voice. I leave with a smile and a full heart😊

Save-experience palomino - My #2 visit to Anawa, with different experiences from the first. This time I added to my memories a walk with a dog to the beach (seeing the smile enjoying the water was the best). I came back because I found that place where I know I'm helping, learning, and being happy.

The volunteering of my life. - The most recurring thought I always have is: I wish I could do something for the animals, for those beings I love so much. Anawa allowed me to see beyond my well-being, I finally felt part of something, I stopped sitting and complaining about why life itself is so unfair and I did part of this volunteering that changed my life and the way I see tourism. Thank you Anawa. I wish with all my heart its success with this project, and above all, I wish that one day good will triumph, that animals will be free, happy and suffering will finally be settled.

Recommended experience - Anawa project is very well organized, every detail is planned to make the experience unforgettable. The Anawa house in Riohacha is spotless and the breakfast delicious 😋 It is happy to volunteer like this, where you can see that the human and financial resources are strategically allocated to meet the objective of Service to Animals. In addition, there is the opportunity to know the landscapes of La Guajira, very beautiful.

If you really like animals this experience is perfect for you - I was looking for an experience that would allow me to connect with myself and at the same time help and connect with a different culture and with Anawa I succeeded, it is a unique, recommended and very safe opportunity especially for women traveling alone ❤️

Anawa experience - It is one of the best experiences that one can live, giving love to both the dogs and the children of the community are small acts that help to make change.

It completely exceeded my expectations! - Apart from knowing this beautiful region and visiting its beaches, you will meet and work with wonderful people with a great passion for animals. You will help vulnerable little animals 🐶🐱 and spend too much time with the children of the Wayuu community. You will leave with a full heart ❤️‍🩹 and eager to come back! Also, the house is beautiful and very comfortable and the food delicious. 🫶🏼
