ABOUT ME
THE PROJECT
FREE TIME
Within free time I went horse riding with a local ranch through the National Park. This is something I have always wanted to do, I really enjoyed it.
ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation is an apartment shared between eight of us. It is spacious and both close to the project and the beach for free time.
WHAT DID I LEARN PROFESSIONALLY?
WHAT DID I LEARN PERSONALLY?
My name is Abbygail, I am 18 years old. Currently I am studying Animal Management at Askham Bryan College, York. This project will give me lots of beneficial experience.

Professionally, I learnt how to take blood samples and test them in the haematology machine. Also, the daily care involved with donkeys including worming and dental treatment.
The main activity is caring for 57 donkeys at the sanctuary; feeding, watering and cleaning duties. Alongside this also working at the vets dealing with all kinds of cases.
Personally, I learnt that conservation/sanctuary work is something that I definitely want to be involved in as part of my future. I thoroughly enjoyed the two weeks!
