Hi, my name is Zak Cannar.
During work I fed the donkeys, cleaned up after them, sanded and painted the visitors centre and watered the plants. I enjoyed the work because it was active and useful.
My favourite experience outside of work was becoming close friends with another member of the group. I also enjoyed exploring the beaches and walking up the tallest mountain in Aruba. We lived in a villa in Noord. We take turns cooking meals.
I learnt how to care for donkeys by feeding them correct amounts at specific parts of the day. I gained knowledge of what it’s like to work with animals. Personally I learnt what it’s like being around and living with a group of new people.
