Aila, a 10-year-old capuchin monkey, retrieves a compact disc from inside a cd player as she demonstrates the tasks that trained monkeys can accomplish for the disabled at the 'Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers for the Disabled' organization's 'monkey college' facility in Boston in this photograph taken May 18, 2004. The organization, which has already trained more than 93 monkeys to live with and assist severely disabled or paralyzed people, hopes to enroll many more student monkeys in its 2-3 year 'monkey college' training program and then provide them to the disabled for assistance.
