Meet Bryony Burns, an alumna of Duchy College Rosewarne who has taken her love for animals across the world to Madagascar.
After completing her Level 3 Animal Management course, Bryony teamed up with TSAP Travel for a unique gap year experience that combines her passion for animal welfare with volunteer work. 
Now on the island of Nosy Be, Bryony is leading a rescue and rehoming project for stray dogs.
But Bryony’s work goes beyond just caring for the dogs.
She has also been engaging with the local community, educating them on the importance of responsible dog ownership and animal welfare. She said: “We are carrying out beach cleans with the local community and I’ve delivered English classes based around animals and animal welfare, as well as my own dog ownership talk, to encourage locals keep dogs off the streets for their benefit and for the animals.”
By fostering a sense of responsibility and empathy towards animals, she hopes to create a lasting positive impact on the island.
In just one month, Bryony’s team has successfully rehomed two puppies and provided essential care for several other dogs.
Bryony’s story is an inspiring example of where a course in Animal Management can lead, beyond borders and into a world of new possibilities.
Duchy College wishes her best of luck in Madagascar and we look forward to see where Bryony’s journey takes her next.
