Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Volunteers will have an amazing opportunity to learn about horse rescue, animals care and experience life in Nicaragua. They'll get to take care of our different species of animals and learn about veganism. On top of that, they'll also be able to participate in activities at the horse sanctuary, gardening and building project. It's going to be a truly unique and fulfilling experience!

Ajuda
Our sanctuary, located in Diriomo, Granada, is a peaceful place surrounded by nature, 23 horses, birds, 7 dogs, 8 cats, 2 ducks and 2 chickens.
We host volunteers in a small house. Accommodation is a dormitory or tent (if you bring your own tent or hammock).
Tasks are pretty varied at the farm.
We are looking for people with experience with horses. Put a halter, clean hooves, brush the horses, clean paddocks are skills pretty appreciated.
If you don't have experience with horses, you can also come and help with other different tasks like cleaning animals and human areas, natural building, we also have a small garden so we would love to use your skills in gardening or farm work. It can sometimes be hard and physical work.
Food is provided but we ask for a financial contribution ($20 a week). We ask for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. You are welcome to bring your vegan snacks. Only vegan food is allowed at the sanctuary. We respect animals even on our plates.
Given the communal living environment and the responsibilities involved in our project, we have found that volunteers aged 25 and over tend to adapt more easily. They generally have more experience with independent living, communication, and following guidelines, which contributes to a more positive and harmonious experience for everyone. For these reasons, we give preference to volunteers in this age group.
Please note we are NOT riding our horses. -
