Hi, my name is Sam Summers.
Daily duties included feeding hay and pellets to the donkeys, poo picking the enclosure numerous times a day and checking and refilling the water bars.
My favourite free time activity throughout the project was the horse riding, as this allowed me to learn a different style of riding and was able to see the different locations around the island.
Thanks to Erasmus+, professionally I learned how to restrain puppies whilst they are having a blood sample taken and how to clean a dogs teeth with the correct equipment during my time at the vets. At the donkey sanctuary, professionally I learnt how to interact with members of the public and overcome language barriers.
