Hola Amigos! long time no see... :) Since my last update I went to La Paz and did the Layl Haseder there with another 150 Israelis - the food was disgusting, but it was fun and very different. The day after the Seder I took a flight alone to Santa Cruz, rich people city and from there I went to volunteer in the jungle and help sick and abused animals. The parque name called Ambue Ari and in this parque there are lots of animals that were abused: there are Pumas, Jaguars, Ocelots, parrots, Bnot Yaana, one deer, one baby Tapir, monkeys and turtle. It's really hard for me to explain about this place... but I'll try...
People come here from all over the world to help those animals. Most of those animals will never be realist cause they are too used to people, like pumas that were in a circus, jaguar that was raised by people and when he grew up they couldn't handle him... lots of sad stories. And the aim of the volunteers is to make the animals life good as they can. I still haven't decide if I agree with all of the things that going on there... like the deer (named Bambi) who is there because he got heart in his leg but he can walk and he's being kept in a cage. Are we suppose to keep him all his life in the cage cause there is a chance he'll be hunt or being eaten by a wild cat.. Or release him to be free as much as he'll survive... - Don't know... Anyway, I really can continue talking about this place forever... I'll just tell that I left this place after 2 weeks came back to La Paz and decided to come back there again till the end of my trip (I have flight to NY on the 5th of May). In the parque I worked with the baby tapir a really weird animal. He is 3 month old and his mom and dad were killed by hunters and he was taken by the hunters to be killed for his fur. they caught him by his lags and when I got to the parque he could burly walk. Now, after 2 weeks he runs and plays - really amazing feeling!!!
I got into a cage with three pumas and pet them - Inti, Wara and yassi, played with puma - Waira, talked with the pumas - Popular and Elsa and was smelt by the jaguar - Sama. In my first night there after brushing my teeth I went to the room closed the door and suddenly the door opened and Coco the monkey went in the room... apparently it's normal... he just wanted to sleep with us - so I slept with him. I think I can continue talking about this place forever... but I think you heard enough :) I'm going to disappear again cause we don't have electricity in the parque, not talking about Internet...
So I'll see you all soon!
