Last weekend, we volunteered at the Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary. It was really cool to see the different types of monkeys—they all have such distinct personalities! We worked hard to create a fun and safe new home for them in one of the cages. We all had a great time getting to know each other better, too! It was inspiring to see how much the workers loved and cared for the monkeys, and I can't wait to go back and help some more!
