Dolphin Trainers
Romy van Leeuwen
Why have you choose to work at CDTC?
I started as an intern in 2009/2010 in the dolphin trainer department. After a wonderful time it was time to go home again. I couldn’t get CDTC out of my head and after about a year I got the opportunity to come back and work as a dolphin trainer.
In which way do you contribute in making the difference?
I am a dedicated employee/person who is giving a 100% for the dolphins in our care.

Dolphins
Samí
Samí is the youngest dolphin of the CDTC family. He is the little brother of Chabelita and Nubia and a son of Bonnie.
Nubia
Nubia is the sister of Chabelita and Samí. She is very playful and enjoys all the attention she gets from her patients. You can recognize Nubia by her short and pointy rostrum.
Kanoa
Kanoa is the son of Mateo and Renata. You can recognize him by his special big round eyes and small slim body. He is very brave, motivated and eager to learn. He loves to chat with his trainers during the session.
Chabelita
Chabelita is a young female dolphin who is very energetic. She is always eager to learn new stuff and is very cuddly. Chabelita is curious and loves to chase fish and crabs. She is the daughter of Bonnie and the big sister of Nubia and Samí.
Management
Office
Alette Borger
It is a great honor to be able to manage a special organization such as CDTC.
An organization with highly skilled professionals, each in their field, together providing a very special and effective program that support each participant and his/her family to grow towards a next step in their development. Being a witness and able to contribute to this is a very valuable asset to me.
It inspires me to support and coaching others, providing the best possible organization, to create the foundation for our highly qualified team to be able to perform at their best, in order to deliver the best results in therapy. With the goal to make a difference in the lives of our participants.
“Together we are here to make the difference”
