Programa detallado

Welcome to Brum's Animal Sanctuary! Our residents came from conditions of abuse and neglect and were rescued by me in the course of many years. I take care of the Sanctuary on my own and have only 1 part-time employee on week days and a cleaning lady once a week.
Each resident, being them a dog, a bull, a wild bird or bee that flies by, has a unique personality and specific needs that must be noted and respected. The Sanctuary has a pond and a small agroforest where I grow bananas, veggies, papaya, etc. Volunteers should participate in gardening activities and might learn or teach me something in the process. Although very beautiful and carefully tented to, the Sanctuary is next to the city and not an idyllic place in the mountains or in the middle of a forest as I'd love it to be.
But I'm more than happy to go with you on small tours to explore better surroundings.
