My name is Richard Crisp, I’m 24 from England.
During the working days I carry out a large variety of tasks such as looking after the donkeys and constructing drainage and shade shelters.
I’ve enjoyed every moment of the experience, all the sight-seeing and exploring. One of the best experiences was the BBQ we had at Desiree’s house and then proceeded to try and capture a wild donkey with her and the group during the middle of the night.
I’ve learnt how to care for donkeys, feeding watering and cleaning. This is an entirely new skill set. I have found a new direction in life and have a better idea of what I want to do long term. I have found out that the sense of routine we had while in Aruba has really helped me back on track.
