Katja at the Acuario

Katja dedicated a full month volunteering at the Animal rescue center at Acuario Valdiva. She amazing girl from Switzerland, whose previous work at a zoo, as well as her preparations to go to veterinary school next year, has bad her one of our most hands on and proactive volunteers we've sent to Acuario Valdivia. We are so happy to have had her, and I'm sure the animals feel the same way. Good luck in Veterinary School!
