Today I worked at the Wildlife Centre. The morning we had to feed the animals at 08:00, but before feeding the animals you have to prepare their food so I helped to prepare their food and helped Charmaine, Brian and Faaitjie to feed the animals.After feeding the animals you have to clean their bottles, buckets and the rest of the lids that some of the animals use to get their food. Cleaning is a very important thing when it come's to animals because it must be hygienic otherwise the animals willl get sick like for example get diaree. After doing the feeding process we had to slauther 2 warthogs for the cat's like the lion's, caracals, servals, and some of the carnivore birds like the owls and the groudhornbill Peter. I cleaned the outside clinic had to get all of the lucern out and cleaned the floor where all of their dung is.

Today I worked at the Wildlife Centre again..so basically we had to prepare their food and feed the animals. I fed the caracals, serval kittens, the giraffe matilda...when feeding the animals you have to be aware of their behaviour and when you are entering their comfort zone. I had to clean the Mongoose boma and swept the floor and get all of the dirt out. We then went to the giraffe boma and had to get all of the lucern out and into bags to put on theMahindra and to take to the back of the Wildlife Centre.We fed the animals at 15:00 and had to clean the tables where we cut the meat.

OUR FIREBREAK COURSE
MONDAY 31 MAY
Today we started with our new course...named firebreak!We packed all of our equipment on the tractor and went to the Makhato houses. We just had a look at where we are going to cut, and went back for lunch...we had to do welcoming today and there came 25 people in for the week. So we had welcoming till about 16:30.
This course was the best, I learned how to work with brush cutters, slashers, Pangaea's, saw's and even to be safe with the thorns...we all worked together and didn't have problems with people that doesn't want to work we came very far and all that I've really learned about this course is how to make the firebreaks and where we must have been brush cutting and what to do with old trees...This is a very important thing to do, because all of us learned how to make the firebreaks and where it would be the most important to make the firebreaks!At the last day of our course we was thanked by Diederick our Principal, Mel our Manager, and Ian our farm Manager we had to get food and something to drink after our hard working two weeks and it was worth it...I had a great time doing fire breaks...
