At our foundation, we are looking for passionate and committed worldpackers to join the 'Healing Hooves' program. We expect our volunteers to:

Be enthusiastic about working with vulnerable children and adolescents.
Show interest and respect for the environment and therapeutic horse riding.
Be proactive, empathetic, and willing to engage in daily activities including horse care and teaching sustainable environmental practices.
Possess intercultural communication skills and be open to learning and sharing experiences.

Activities & Shift

Volunteers will lead students on horseback rides through local ecosystems, offering an exciting way to explore nature.
While riding, they can teach students about the flora, fauna, and ecological balance, enhancing the experience with the unique perspective provided from horseback.
This activity combines environmental education with the joy of horse riding, making it a memorable experience for students.

Horse Interaction: Volunteers should be comfortable working with and around horses, and ideally have some basic knowledge of equine behavior and care.
Cultural Exchange and Language Skills: In addition to environmental education, volunteers are encouraged to share their cultural backgrounds and make efforts to engage with the local language and customs.
