Hi ,
Recipient Mary Kay and monkey Amy enjoy some sun
 | Happy summer from Helping Hands! Here at Monkey College there is no such thing as a summer vacation for the staff or the monkeys. We are hard at work on some new projects and ideas that we are excited to share with you over the next few months. These new projects range from re-vamping our merchandise collection to planning special events in Boston, New York City, and Santa Ana, CA.  Of course we didn't forget the fun stuff. Check out our Monkey Helper News to learn about one of our monkeys who has reached the end of her training.
As always, THANK YOU for everything you do for us- we couldn't do it alone!
~ Noelle, the staff and monkeys at Helping Hands ~

Meet Our Monkeys: Tracey  Tracey is one of the staff's favorite girls here at Monkey College. When she could no longer stay with her recipient, she came back to Boston for a refresher course. She and her trainer Allyson practice fine tuning her tasks in the apartment, focusing mainly on potty training. Tracey is a social girl both  with the trainers and other monkeys alike. We know she'll be a fabulous addition to any recipient's home when the time is right.
