ABOUT ME
I worked at the Aruba Donkey Sanctuary, Philips Animal Park and Contreras Veterinary Practice. I love working at all three places as every day was different.
FREE TIME
ACCOMMODATION
We lived in two apartments during the project. At the accommodation I would Facetime by family, friends and pets.
WHAT DID I LEARN PROFESSIONALLY?
WHAT DID I LEARN PERSONALLY?
My name is Jamie, I’m 17 years-old and I am a learner at ProCo. I wanted to take part in this project because I have always wanted to work with animals abroad.
Jamie in Aruba Animals
During my free time we went to Palm Island. I went on the zip wire which was scary at first but was amazing after I jumped off.
I have learnt about the different cultures in Aruba. I have also learnt new skills, for example restraining a puppy to take a blood sample from the neck.
THE PROJECT
I learnt that I am very good at barbecuing! I also didn’t think I would miss my family as much as I did.
