A Day in the Life of a HeroRAT-in-Training
HeroRATs-in-training may love their job, but that doesn’t mean it’s always an easy life! Landmine Detection recruits must wake up early every day and practice sniffing for mines and covering ground at APOPO’s Landmine Detection Training Field. With a little help from their trainers, they work hard in the hopes that they may one day be sent to APOPO’s Mine Action operations.
To learn about the work of APOPO, watch more videos, and meet the featured HeroRATs available for online adoption, check out www.apopo.org!
