    Story

    I am a 23 year old Animal Management student aspiring to train as a primatologist. To support my education I need to be partaking in industry experience. With primates, this is not easy to do.

    I suffer from Schizoaffectice disorder, this is a mental health illness that impacts my daily life, along side this I also suffer from numerous physical health conditions. There are many people that believe I wont be able to do this but I would love to, and plan to, prove

    I have the opportunity to volunteer at a rescue sanctuary in Costa Rica from the 15th July 2019 for two weeks. During this project I will be gaining valuable industry experience with primates such as two and three toed sloths, spider monkeys and capuchin monkeys. I will be working up close and personal with the animals ensuring their welfare and helping an organisation that is only still running because of volunteers like myself, they get NO government funding.

    Please help me achieve my dream of cuddling a sloth!
