Without a doubt, the days that I was in the organization will be something that I will never forget. Stephanie, the hostess, is a very sweet person and concerned about making you feel at home. Every person I met at the Institute opened their doors to me and was so kind to me. My little Portuguese was not an obstacle at all. I learned about horses, therapies, animal care, children and Brazilian culture. I have my heart full of love! It should be noted how delicious the food is, really, those lunches were 5 stars. Thank you the organization, I will always carry you in my heart.

Si quieres que tu corazón se llene de amor, entonces ve a la organización!. Fue una experiencia maravillosa, llena de aprendizajes. Me fui con mucha gratitud. Stephanie, quien coordina el programa, es muy amorosa e inspiradora. Te hace sentir en casa. Las instalaciones son muy cómodas, el espacio está en un entorno natural bellísimo y todo el equipo de trabajadores te acoge. Me enseñaron del cuidado de los caballos, del trabajo terapeutico con niños, del apoyo a las familias, etc. Me permitieron proponer tareas, como ordenar la tienda, y me animaron a cada instante a sentirme cómoda.
