My Nonprofit Reviews

When first researching and reading about IEAS, I was impressed with how they described their program and purpose. It wasn't until I was accepted into the program and witnessed firsthand how incredible they are. I spent three amazing months at IEAS, and it gave me some invaluable experience to use throughout my career/life. Whenever I go to a city that has a zoo/sanctuary, I try to incorporate that into my plans. With that I have been to many places, and can honestly say that IEAS is my favorite place I have ever been. The reasons for this are plenty. They treat every animals with the respect they deserve and allow them to live their lives the way they choose to with what life dealt them. The majority of the animals were rescues from horrible cases of neglect and abuse. With this they will natural not trust humans for any reason, and through a lot of time and patience the staff at IEAS eventually gains enough trust from these animals to work around them and in some cases give a lot of emotional enrichment in close proximity to their habitat. One of the biggest reasons I love it there so much, is that the respect we know to give them we push onto all visitors who come to IEAS. We are their for the animals, not for the enjoyment of the people who come to visit. We let the animal decide what kind of interaction they want, not pushing anything upon them. If they don't want any, we just pass them on by and leave them alone. Throughout the three months I made some amazing relationships with certain cats and I know that throughout my life I will be helping out at IEAS in whatever way I can.
