Animal care and rescue / Cuidar y salvar animales /Tortosa, Spain


The experience

Tenemos un pequeño refugio para animales de todo tipo que a la vez es una granja de autoconsumo, y necesitamos ayuda variada, sobre todo con las cabras y los burros, también para hacer reparaciones y pequeñas construcciones para mejorar la calidad de vida de los animales...
También haría falta alguien para volver a poner en marcha el blog / página web para dar a conocer el proyecto y conseguir donaciones para comida y costes veterinarios.
