Take Note:

~ Henry and Jessica

My wife Jessica and I (Henry) are an international couple with our 2 children, living in the North of Peru. I am a medical veterinarian by trade, specializing in horses. Jessica has her education in preventative wellness and is a stay at home Mom raising our daughters. Horseback riding is our main scope, but family rural life requires a wide variety of volunteer profiles to keep us evolving. Our volunteer opportunity (and our home) is in the village of Montevideo. Which is a small village approximately 2 hours away from the larger city of Chachapoyas. Notes: *️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ we ask all potential volunteers to do a video call meeting. This helps YOU get to know us, and US to know you more. *️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️ both you and I reserve the right to quit the volunteer agreement at any time and for any reason. For this reason we ask all our volunteer to have a back up plan.
