The organisation Helping Hands teaches monkeys
at a special ‘college’ in Boston, USA. At first, the
10 monkeys don’t work with disabled people – they
learn how to help them. After two years, they go
to their new homes. About a hundred capuchin
monkeys live with disabled people and help them.

helps Lauren wash and she gets food and drink for 15
her. She opens books and turns the pages for her. She
helps with the phone and puts discs in the computer.
