FREE TIME
I enjoyed discovering the National Park by horseback as it was very peaceful. I equally enjoyed exploring under water during our snorkelling activity as I found the marine life interesting.
WHAT DID I LEARN PROFESSIONALLY? Professionally, I have learnt a variety of skills that I can transfer into a work place. An example of these would be gaining more knowledge on different veterinary procedures.
THE PROJECT
My favourite activity is working at the vets. I also enjoy helping at the Donkey Sanctuary and taking part in their daily cleaning and feeding routine.
ACCOMMODATION
The accommodation is a short drive away from our activities but it is located in a nice area. I am living with 7 others which has improved my social skills.
WHAT DID I LEARN PERSONALLY? This experience has made me realise what I would like to do in the future. It has given me the confidence to do more volunteering to achieve my dream career.
