Our experiences eventually led to the developing of a animal farm that houses cows, dogs, gunniea pigs, rabbits, poultry, doves, love birds and fishes. Almost cent percent of the trainees enjoy touching, feeding and playing with the animals and participate in looking after the animals. This plays a therapeutic role in the developing of accountability in the execution of the various activities in care giving of the animals.
