MATTY in Aruba Animals
ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is Matty, I am 18 years old and from York. I am a student studying Animal Management and my motivation is my love for animals.
THE PROJECT
FREE TIME
During my free time I tried many new things such as horse riding and snorkelling. I really enjoyed it and saw many natural structures which I find very interesting.
ACCOMMODATION
During the project we stayed in an apartment. I thought the accommodation was good because it gave us a chance to be more social and live more independently.
WHAT DID I LEARN PROFESSIONALLY?
WHAT DID I LEARN PERSONALLY?
I learnt a lot about general donkey husbandry and also about sea turtle conservation. This was good because I want to go into animal conservation in the future.
At the donkey sanctuary we fed, cleaned and watered the animals as well as worming. I really enjoyed it because it’s what I would like to do in the future.
Personally I gained more confidence and learnt how to do thing I wouldn’t normally do at home such as horse riding and snorkelling.
