ba Stephaine in Aru Animals
ABOUT ME
My name is Steph I am 28 years old and live in St Helens. I’m completing a level 3 qualification in animal care and would now like to train as a vet nurse assistant.
I volunteered at the donkey sanctuary, cleaning, feeding and grooming the donkeys. I also got the chance to clean at the zoo and help out at the vets.
FREE TIME
ACCOMMODATION
After volunteering we got to relax at the beach and go to the supermarket, we also went to de Palm Beach for the day snorkelling which was amazing.
WHAT DID I LEARN PROFESSIONALLY? I learnt that volunteering animals is very different than in the UK. I also got loads of experience with the animals more than I would in the UK.
THE PROJECT
We stayed at Pauline’s apartments in Keito, it was a nice quiet area and had a lovely garden with a swimming pool, sun loungers and a barbeque in.
WHAT DID I LEARN PERSONALLY? Personally I learnt I can live with other people other than just my family, I also made friends and got to see how different Aruba is from the UK.
