Brandon at Monkey Bay

I worked at Monkey Bay Wildlife Sanctuary for my internship located about 10 miles outside of Belmopan. Here I worked for two weeks gardening in their many different flowerbeds and making four new vegetable beds for Monkey Bay to grow some of their own food year round. The first week I pulled weeds, planted a few new flowers and plants, and tended a flowerbed full of young Aloe Vera plants. After the first week of work I returned to start the new vegetable beds. It took all week to clear away brush, till the earth, gather wood, and finally lay down the beds. All the work I did at Monkey Bay was by hand but if I were in the United States I probably would have used machinery; because of this and the fact that I was creating new vegetable beds the work I did tied together with the concept of creation care. Working in Belize is much different from the United States because of the lack of pressure to get the work done in an exact time schedule and the work consists operating with your hands instead of machinery.
