    Tell her to contact vets and animal charities directly herself. It looks better if she shows some initiative as most vets for instance will have college students on placement at one time or another and many feel they can do without the hassle of having secondary school students on top of that.

    She could do a free donkey care course with the Irish Donkey sanctuary if you could drive her to Belvedere House near Mullingar. There is one coming up at the end of this month if you want to check it out. She'll get a certificate to prove she did the course.

    Also Airfield farm is reopening in March they might accept her as a volunteer as the animal work is mainly feeding.
