Assist with one of our most important projects: the maintenance and expansion of our multi-faceted Community & Riding facilities for local children and young people from disadvantaged families.

Volunteering is a wonderful thing that many people in the capitalist world find hard to understand. But for those of you who know that they can be a part of a noble cause which eventually makes a big difference in so many lives, and are willing to go that extra mile to do the job I’m glad I was a part of another volunteer mission to do what is meaningful.

We are building an ecological children`s playground

The aim is to help young kids gain alternative recreational options. This is a great opportunity to share your skills and make a sustainable difference to a community that really needs it. 

On the ecological building project you can also hone your Spanish skills as you work side by side with our local grounds-maintenance workers. Assist with painting and restoring work, help with landscaping, redecorating and maintenance.
