Summary:
International Volunteer HQ’s Animal Care project not only benefits rescued animals but also children from low-income areas of Cordoba. This project involves volunteering at a small farm, which serves as an animal refuge and learning center. Here, local children have the opportunity to connect with animals in an outdoor setting and participate in activities that would otherwise be inaccessible to them. Through their involvement, volunteers contribute to the well-being of both animals and children, fostering a sense of connection and providing enriching experiences.
