Working with Casa-Nica (Azure)

The first thing our school did was work at the zoo where we saw all the animals that were being reintroduced to the wild. We also observed a caged monkey snap for a minute and scream at us. Other than monkeys there were many birds at the zoo and asll the other kinds of typical zoo animals. There were alot of mango trees, which are very common in Nicaragua. We picked up all the good mangos that were on the ground and they were cut up and fed to the other zoo animals and the bad one were raked up and thrown in the burn pile. We visited the Zoo again on Friday and we sorted bags of animal food and chopped fruit. I even saw what a cow fetus looks like from seeing the contents of the walk-in freezer. I also fed the wild hogs mangos. One thing I saw in this zoo that wasn't in an American Zoo was that some of the birds are free to roam around. The work was really hard and I know that manual labor is pretty much the only work you can get in many developing countries.
