Hi, my name is Ryan Stringer.
I have enjoyed being involved in providing the daily husbandry for the donkeys, this involved two daily feeds of hay and pellets as well as cleaning the outside areas. I have also completed extra jobs such as clearing the storage container.
As one of the spare time activities the group and I took part in a softball match against the staff of Contreras Veterinary Services. I particularly enjoyed learning the rules of sport and competing with the staff.
Thanks to Erasmus+, professionally I learned new skills and knowledge specifically relating to the veterinary and restraint side of their care as well as how the welfare is maintained in different countries.
Personally, I feel like I have improved my confidence around new people especially whilst talking to tourists.
