Hi Brendan, I'm so happy to see you.0:07
How did your summer go?0:10
I did some voluntary work for 6 weeks with my 2 brothers and a couple of friends.0:13
We worked at an animal shelter up north.0:21
And what did you do exactly?0:25
Well, there were a lot of things to do, so we all had different tasks.0:27
Some of the volunteers had to feed and clean up after the animals, and sometimes even take them for walks, while others helped raise money by presenting the centre to tourists in the town centre and collecting donations.0:32
I was asked to organise guided tours for tourists.0:45
It was a pretty cool job.0:48
That sounds interesting.0:51
You must have met a lot of people.0:52
I also learned a lot about conservation and taking care of injured or sick animals.0:56
A lot of them are in a terrible condition when they arrive.1:02
They are often either terrified of us or aggressive towards us, and we have to manage that.1:05
Some volunteers on the team find it difficult at first and even cry, but after a while you learn that there is no point crying and you learn to act and do what's necessary to help the animals.1:10
You have to be caring with them, but you also have to be strong to be able to help them.1:22
Could I come and help you out next year?1:30
You know, they never have enough volunteers, so they are very happy to have people like you.1:34
I mean, I have no experience.1:40
Anyone can learn how to take care of animals if they want to.1:42
