We loved our experience at the organization. The entire team of workers is very welcoming and friendly. I truly enjoyed participating in the daily tasks and learning more about equine therapy. It's a fantastic volunteer opportunity for anyone who wants to get involved in social work, and also for those who love horses or want to learn more about them! I will definitely return on my next trip to Brazil.

For my first volunteering experience, it was a total success. the organization team is incredible and particularly welcoming, which made integration so easy. Beyond the human aspect, I learned so much about echotherapie and horse-assisted support. It was a very rewarding experience that I highly recommend

It was my best experience so far. First of all, I was greeted like a family. Everything feels like family here. People are so nice and warm hearted. Second of all, the work is amazing. Tasks are super different and flexible. You can literally do whatever you have interest in. There was also so many events happening and you can participate. And third, the place itself is like a paradise. The conditions of living are good but the main thing is the nature. All green, sustainable, there are so many animals. Horses are also cute and friendly. Loved it so much! Thank you ❤️🙏🏻

The organization is another world🌎. I learn a lot in different aspects and my self, I never tought horses could teach me that much. The infrastructure is beautiful and they are growing even more this year. The landscape around is beautiful as well, it has some nice mountains. People from the NGO is always willing to help and teach you. You are definitely going to be on a multicultural environment where you will hear different languages. The food is really good as well as the bedrooms. Thank you to Stephanie and the other volunteers for this experience. Always in my 💜🐎

My time in the organization was amazing, I got to know many beautiful people that I'll always remember with love. The tasks are not complicated, you learn so much about taking care of horses. Stephanie was really flexible and gave me the opportunity to organise my time as I needed, and everyone was a big support when unfortunately I wasn't feeling good. The lunches are awesome, the house was nice, I shared it with people that came for a course they offer. I did some cleaning and many different tasks as this course demanded a lot of energy from everyone, but I felt always part of the team.

My time at the organization was amazing. The place is stunning, people are very welcoming and friendly. I felt at home directly. By joining IPPE, You contribute to an amazing project that really makes a difference for Children with Equine therapy & enjoy peaceful real nature. There are many ways to help : horse care, plants & gardening, cooking, cleaning, participating to solidarity events … On my side, I spend my days taking care of the horses, helping during the “children” equine therapies, training and riding horses. food is amazing (Rê 🙏🏻) & accommodation is great. Thanks IPPE ❤️

Without a doubt, the days that I was in the organization will be something that I will never forget. Stephanie, the hostess, is a very sweet person and concerned about making you feel at home. Every person I met at the Institute opened their doors to me and was so kind to me. My little Portuguese was not an obstacle at all. I learned about horses, therapies, animal care, children and Brazilian culture. I have my heart full of love! It should be noted how delicious the food is, really, those lunches were 5 stars. Thank you the organization, I will always carry you in my heart.

An amazing experience at the institute, the organization. I found a lot of humanity and kindness from the entire center team and the other volunteers. The organization is a great place to connect with nature, animals, and one's inner child. The facilities to welcome volunteers are very clean and comfortable, and the food is delicious. The work has been quite intense, but always in good spirits, and Stéphanie takes care to arrange rest breaks and always looks after the volunteers' well-being. A big, big thank you for the welcome.

A organização é um local extremamente acolhedor, desde o primeiro momento que entrei em contato até o momento da minha chegada. Sinto um ambiente familiar, trabalho engajado de toda a equipe, sempre disposta a compartilhar os conhecimentos conosco e paciente em passar as tarefas diárias e rotina dos cavalos. Aprendi muito sobre a dinâmica com os cavalos e também do mundo da Equoterapia, mas além disso, aprendi valores que vou levar para a vida. Sou muito grata a oportunidade de participar desse projeto e poder colaborar com essa linda causa social. Voltarei com certeza

Since your arrival, Juliana has been very involved in all tasks. Her professional experience allowed Juliana to actively contribute to the day-to-day life of the institution. The children loved her, and surely she left a lot of love there. Her dog friend Falcão was a blessing in our yard. Thank you, Ju, and good luck on your path to becoming a future equine therapist. :) Hugs. Team Step by Step
