Emi in Aruba Animals
ABOUT ME
My name is Emi, I am 19 years-old and from Leigh. I am a full-time learner studying Animal Management at ProCo. My motivation is my love of animals.
THE PROJECT
FREE TIME
ACCOMMODATION
We first stayed at Salanja Cerca in Noord, and then changed accommodation to stay with Desiree. She has lots of pets including three dogs, cats and donkeys.
WHAT DID I LEARN PROFESSIONALLY?
WHAT DID I LEARN PERSONALLY?
At the vets I gained a lot of knowledge about animal welfare in Aruba and about the different ways of caring for animals.
I discovered more about myself during the project; I was able to adapt to the climate and it has increased my passion for animals and their welfare.
My favourite activity was snorkelling at De Palm Island. It boosted my confidence in the water and I enjoyed every moment of it, especially discovering the beauty underwater.
I worked at a donkey sanctuary with Desiree, meeting and bonding with the donkeys. This included feeding and cleaning.
