 local elephant was feeding on some leaves when
a
a different species of elephant approached. The

SCRIPT
Interviewer: Hello listeners. Today we’ll be talking to
Mika Lawrence, who volunteered at an animal refuge.
Mika, why did you choose a refuge in Bolivia in South
America? After all, it’s so far away.
Mika: Well, I’m thinking about becoming a vet, and
a friend told me about this wonderful animal refuge
called Ambue Ari that they had worked at. I must say
that the trip was really worthwhile.
Interviewer: So, you went to Ambue Ari and how long
did you stay?
Mika: All volunteers have to stay for at least two weeks,
but some like it so much that they stay for much longer. I
ended up being there for three months.
Interviewer: I understand that the refuge was built to
protect and care for animals that have been abused in
some way. Where do these animals come from?
Mika: Well, they come from various places. They are
sometimes neglected and abused in circuses or by
private owners.
Interviewer: And what happens to the animals when
they get to the refuge?
Mika: The people in charge try to rehabilitate them and
give them as much freedom as possible. When animals
first arrive in the park, they are kept in cages until it’s
clear that they aren’t sick or dangerous. What happens
after that depends a lot on the animal, really.
Interviewer: What do you mean?
Mika: Well, some, like certain kinds of monkeys, are set
free and can wander around the refuge. The monkeys
are really friendly and they walk right up to you. The
wild cats, of course, need different attention. They
spend the nights in cages, but get regular exercise with
the volunteers, who take them for long walks in the
jungle every day.

Answer Key
SCRIPT
Interviewer: Long walks with wild cats! Wow! How else
do volunteers help?
Mika: The monkeys have to be fed and there’s lots of
cleaning up afterwards because they leave a real mess. Then
there’s building cages and repair work, oh – and spending
time with wild cats like pumas. This is particularly popular
with guys. I suppose they think it’s cool, which it is, really.
Interviewer: What kind of conditions do the volunteers
live in?
Mika: When I was there, the place was pretty primitive.
We lived without electricity, telephones or access to the
Internet. It was the insects, like mosquitoes and sand
flies that really drove us crazy. We had to make sure we
wore long clothes even though it was hot, or we’d be
covered with insect bites.
Interviewer: The seasons in Bolivia are different from
those in England. When were you there?
Mika: I was there from December to February, which
would be cold and wet in England, but down there it’s
summertime. Summer is from November to March. It’s
hot and it’s also when most of the rain falls. The rain
goes on right through to April.
Interviewer: Do you mind my asking why you stayed so
long? It doesn’t sound like it was easy.
Mika: It wasn’t, but I loved every minute. I spent most of
my time working with the monkeys. It’s amazing how
they all have such different personalities, and I got really
close to one of them. Every morning it would jump onto
my shoulder and play with my hair, and it would just stay
there while I went about my duties. If I sat down to relax
for a bit, it would climb onto my lap and sit there.
Interviewer: I’ve heard that it costs volunteers money to
stay at the refuge. Is that true?
Mika: Yes – it’s $375 for the first 15 days and $18 a night after
that. This covers accommodations and three meals a day.
And some of the money is used for the cost of keeping the
refuge going. It’s not a lot really and it’s for a good cause.
Interviewer: It certainly is. Thank you so much, Mika, for
coming in to talk to us today.
