What else ...

Betty: I have had pets for my whole life and love being around animals. I fostered dogs for a couple of years and had lots of dogs running around the house until they were adopted. I loved doing this and would enjoy any opportunity to work with animals! I was part of the dutch War Child youth council for 2 years in which I mainly helped advice the charity on how they could become more sustainable.
Elaine: I've volunteered with donkeys on Bonaire and loved the entire experience! I also have 2 cats that I've cared for for my entire life. I would enjoy the opportunity to be able to expand on these experiences. I played football when I was younger and I love to work out and be physically active.
