Upon arrival, volunteers are met by a host team and taken to the ranch where they will stay and carry out the project. 

Their mission as volunteers is to be involved in all daily tasks on the ranch. 

Participants, who have experience with horses, spend their time grooming, feeding, leading and handling the animals. The rest of the tasks such as animal pick-up, animal intake process, medical treatment and hoof care are other tasks directed by staff members but they can help.

Volunteers with little or no horse experience are involved in the following tasks: cleaning pens and equipment, building and maintaining fences, sheds and shelters, supporting fundraising events and assisting with administrative tasks.

All volunteers are housed in a small guest house on the ranch grounds. They share a dormitory, bathroom and kitchen.

A ranch staff member regularly takes them to the nearest town so they can buy groceries for their daily meals. These can be prepared in the kitchen of the volunteer house.

Become active in horse rescue and have an unforgettable and rewarding time as a volunteer in beautiful Canada !

We have 3 missions :

The first one is to take care of wild animals. You will mainly take care of sea turtles, tarsiers and elephant, located in Puhket. These animals landed in shelters due to certain injuries. Your task will be to clean their enclosure, to fed them and to give them hugs. 

The second mission is teaching english for childreen who cannot go to school and do other fun activities with them like music and sports. For this mission you will go to poor city like Kalasin and Pattani.

The last mission is taking care of the environnement. You will plant trees and other plants to help nature grown. For this mission you will go near to Bangkok, wich is very touch by pollution. Morever, to conclude your trip, you will go to Khoa Lak, a place with water pollution because of waste. To solve this problem, you will clean the sea.

This incredible will last 3months, from march to may. Be careful, during these mounts, the temperature can rise up to 40°C, so do not bring a big sweater and coat with you ! And drink a lot of water !

You will be housed and fed in a youth hostel run by volunteers already on site. The only thing you have to finance is your plane ticket. 

If you are motivate to participate, let’s register yourself at the secretariat of the university, then ask for a visa (ask as soon as possible because it can take many month !),  prepare your suitcase and jump on your plane ! 

The only condition is to have minimum 18 years old. 

Enjoy your trip !

This experience will allow us to gain experience in wildlife conservation and contribute to the conservation of wolves. Like we said before, on the first day the volunteers can visit Belém, Alfama or Sintra and they can use the free weekends to explore more of the country. 

I will talk about the skills to have : Strong communication skills in English or Portuguese, a good physical condition, be able to work in a team and be able to execute tasks independently.

The volunteers will work Monday through Friday, seven hours a day. During the summer months, work may start earlier and end later, with a break during the hottest part of the day. After some morning work, weekends are free for volunteers. 

What about volunteering ? : The reserve is a haven for wolves that can no longer live in the wild. That’s why, the volunteer must :

-prepare food, so he has to cut raw meat-feed the wolves

-check the water supply of the wolves (in summer at least three times a day), 

-watch and observe wolves. 

There is also forestry maintenance : like cutting down trees. Branches and materials must be removed. For example during the summer (May to October) volunteers participate in fire watch, which can include night patrols.

And there is Infrastructure maintenance: the volunteers should check enclosure’s walls and fences, and clean the pathways. 

And it is forbidden to touch the wolves.

III) This program is unfortunately not free despite being a volunteer experience. But why do we have to pay for volunteering ? 

This program is not just about coming to take care of the wolves. All your needs are taken care of. It includes transport, so the plane ticket and the taxi you have to take to get to the reserve, as well as accommodation, shared rooms in a hostel and the volunteers' house are made available to you with fully equipped kitchen. The only thing to your charge is the food, daily meals are not included in the programme fee.

In the end, the program costs between 500 and 850 euros depending on the during of your stay.

But also to participate in this program you must be at least 18 years old and no maximum limit.

In conclusion, you have to pay the price to live this experience abroad but it is cheaper than a basic trip and in addition you can live next to the wolves, take care of them for a good cause. And also train you in your english or portuguese with native Portuguese.

- Canada has a huge Workaway community ! If you don’t know this website, it’s a platform where individuals or sometimes small enterprises look for people who can work for them, in exchange for a place to live, food, and an immersive experience. It’s a very efficient way to be faced with natives and speak with them every day.

You can find work in different places all over the ten provinces of Canada, for variable periods of time. Which allows you to have different works in different places along your trip. 

To help you in your project, we can help you to make your resume with Canadian standards, and find jobs easily with advice about how to apply for a job in Canada. We want you to find the perfect job near the places you want to visit. 

- Canada is a very beautiful country. With its gorgeous mountains landscapes and great nature spaces, Canada is the best country for trek lovers. You can discover big cities like Montreal, Quebec, Toronto or Ottawa, with its architecture (like the Plateau Mont-Royal, in Montreal). Then, you can visit waterfalls (like Niagara falls or Montmorency falls). Canada has national parks too, like Banff national park, which has the most beautiful landscapes of the country. For all cold weather lovers, Canada is the best country for you! If you are a great adventurer, you can do Icefield parkways, one of the most beautiful scenic routes of the country, with 230km of lakes, glaciers and waterfalls. But if you don't love that, you can warm up by eating hot and fatty dishes like Poutine, a Quebec dish of fries, Canadian cheddar and sauce, which is really good!

- Canada is the perfect country for a trip in an english-speaking country. With his ten provinces, Canadian culture is very interesting, and Canadian people are very welcoming and friendly ! It's an accessible country, and traveling is easy, despite the size of the land. You can be in Winnipeg one day, the next day, in Quebec, if you miss French language, and the day after, at Niagara falls in Ontario, at the border of the USA. The experience of your life is waiting for you, in the land of your dreams. Enjoy your trip !
