This volunteer project was founded in 2010 and is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and resettlement of stray cats in Santiago. Unfortunately, in Chile, and much of Latin America, animals’ lives are not given as much value as in industrialized countries.
Combine your passion for animals and giving back to society by improving the ever-present problem of stray animals on the streets of Santiago. By supporting this volunteer organization, you will help rescued dogs and cats. The streetscape of Chile’s capital of Santiago is, unfortunately, characterized by vagabond dogs that eat rotten food from the garbage.
With this volunteer program in Chile, you can combine your passion for horses with charity work. You will work with people and animals and get to spend plenty of time outdoors. Additionally, you will gain valuable insights into the benefits of horse therapy. This type of therapy is a method that appeals to multiple senses of the patient on different levels, leading to quick therapy results.
