Description
I’m a French girl living in Nicaragua, and I’m running a horse rescue sanctuary.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Volunteers will have an amazing opportunity to learn about horse rescue and experience life in Nicaragua! They'll also get to stay with me in my house, have their own room, and be involved in daily activities. Plus, they'll get to take care of some adorable animals and learn about veganism. On top of that, they'll also be able to participate in activities at the horse sanctuary. It's going to be a truly unique and fulfilling experience!
Help
I live in Granada, which is only a 40-minute drive away from a horse sanctuary. I have a few furry friends at home - cats and dogs - that could use some love and attention. Additionally, I will use some help around the house (cleaning rooms, taking care of plants), and with the horses at the sanctuary. Just to clarify, you won't be replacing any existing housekeepers or horse groomers - you'll just be lending a helping hand as a bonus!
The volunteer time is divided between daily work in my house (cleaning, taking care of animals, taking care of the garden etc) and the sanctuary: we go when it's necessary (it can be every day when there is new rescue or twice a week when no emergency).
Food is not included. The shared kitchen only allows vegetarian food.
