SITE GUIDING

We've learned about game drives and how to entertain the people on it. We all have learned a lot about the animals on the farm as well the farm's roads . It was a great experience to take people on a game drive to tell them more about the animals and all the trees and all types of grass on the farm of  Sondela .
 
 Something new I've learned about the Melkbossie is that it has a milky inside and when you get some of that milk in your body you will get tummy cramps . I've also learned that the animals on Sondela marks of their teritories so that the others will know and smell which animal lives in each section and also the Wilde bees and the Bles buck has something in common about the way they walk. Their heads goes up and down because of the magets inside their noses which causes a vibration and that bothers them a lot and they shake their heads up and down so that the vibration can stop which irritates them.

THE SPIRIT OF THE FIRST YEARS AT SONDELA

All the first years are always very scared of all the people , but after the first week everybody knows were everything is and what to do and whom to talk to . The spirit of the first years will show after the first three weeks and that spirit will show everyone how they are and were you can use them the most.

 When everyone starts with their course , they will be tested . The people who's going to do the best in the work place will be put on full duty at that work place . So when you start your course show everyone in that work place how hard you can work and what you can do the best . Put everything in it when you start because it's your spirit that will depend how you will live your life . Always be neat in your uniform and polish your shoes so that you can be proud of your uniform and your work.

 We are +- 50 students and everyone has a different personality which everyone has to respect and that everyone has to work with . You have to learn how everyone work and what they like to do ,what their strong points and weaknesses are . You have to look at each one's personality to decide whom do you want to work with and whom you want to be friends with . Remember to always look at your own safety and your friends safety in your course were you decide to work . Always be serious in what you do in your work because when you are working with wild animals your work places will become more dangerous .

INTERVIEWS

Interviews at Sondela is one of the best things because they talk about your leadership and how they want you to be and what they want to do with you . They also look at your test points and at your clothes and how neat you are . 

 They ask you what you want to do with your life and what your goals are for your working place. My suggestion is to do your best while you have the change to do it and to be the best in what you can do the best . Sondela showed me that I can do things which I didn't expect I can do . Everyone will help you were they can, and in every interview they will talk to you about your strong points and your weak points which you have to work on.

TESTS AT SONDELA

My tests at Sondela so far is the best in my career , they teach me the right way and everyone will allways help you when you start struggling with things in your coarse. They will help you to communicate better and in the right manner. When I started at Sondela I was terrified because I didn't know what to do because I was stressed , but all the people that works here made me feel at home in two days . The atmosphere makes you relax and everyone is so nice and friendly with everyone, everyone greets you and they like it to talk to you to know you better. When we started the WAP coarse we were like one big family , it's just like we all just klicked in a manner. But the tests are great and I love to study for things I love to do. 

                                                                                                                                               

FIRE FIGHTING

I've learned a lot about fires and how to control them . There is a lot of fires in our country and we need the people who can be there to control the fires and who know the procedures to kill a fire which get out of hand . I've learned how to control a fire and how to kill it very fast to help our nature explore more and that all our animals live without struggling for any food or some water . They also showed us all the different fire distinguishers and how to use them in different situations . Everyday I learn more and more things that can be helpful to our nature and my life! .

FIRST AID LEVEL 1

I met a lot of people and we all worked together like a team.It was a lot fun to work with everyone and to learn how to help people when they struggle with something like choking and when someone gets a heart attack I can help them to keep on living . I have learned to do CPR and how to help people who has fractions and deep cuts . Everything we did was very interesting . Everybody was stressed when we did our practical test because you have to do every thing right the first time and if you fail , then you have to do it again .They also showed us a lot of pictures and they taught us all the rules witch we have to use to help the people who is injured .
