This weekend was kind of busy... I did welcoming and Customer service for the first time at the Caravan park...I loved doing customer service because I had a smile on my face the whole time because it is a lovely feeling if guests are happy with the service we provide at Sondela.

We learned how to work with roundup and what the reason for roundup is...

We dipped ink berry with roundup after we harvested it so that we can kill it because we don't want it to grow again because it kills the animals on the farm...

Today we took the insides,legs and head of the calf that died from ink berry and left it at the Vulture restaurant for other animals to eat... we also cut open the heart to learn a bit of the rooms in the heart...The rest of the calf's meat were given to the chefs so that they can learn certain cuts.

Food & Beverage

Before I started at the Food & Beverage Department I couldnt waiter at all...
