Program Details
On the agreed days of collaboration, you will travel daily to the countryside to work alongside our team.
The activities will be mainly related to the care and well-being of the animals: chickens, pigs, horses, cows, calves, and sheep.
Among the tasks may be included:
* Feeding the animals and ensuring they have water.
* Cleaning and conditioning the spaces where they are kept.
* Assisting with hygiene and maintenance of corrals and farm sectors.
* Helping with everyday tasks related to chickens, pigs, horses, cows, calves, and sheep.
* Assisting in the general maintenance of the countryside.
* Learning and participating in the various activities that are part of rural life.
No prior experience is necessary in all these tasks. We are looking for responsible, active people who love animals and want to learn, who enjoy contact with nature and a different experience.
The idea is that the volunteer can get to know up close the true life of the countryside, actively participate in the daily tasks and share this experience with us.
This is an opportunity for those who want to disconnect from routine, be in contact with animals and nature, and learn how a farm works from the inside.
