Animal Academy in Fuerteventura I

国 スペイン
コード ESDA-2725
プログラム名 Animal Academy in Fuerteventura I
開催期間 2025/06/12(木)～2025/06/22(日)
背景 The Animal Academy is a shelter for animals considered farm animals abused and abandoned on the island of Fuerteventura. We take care of giving them a second chance: here they become superheroes and give a voice to all those who, like them, have suffered at the hands of human beings!

These rescued animals have developmental diseases, psychological problems, and all kinds of ailments, but in the shelter, they find a place where they can live the life they deserve without fear.

The project is located in a REMOTE area of the island. Fuerteventura is ARID, DESERTED, AND HOT!!!

仕事内容 Most of the tasks are manual and try to support the inhabitants of the shelter; so be prepared for cleaning, feeding, and especially loving the shelter's animals. Some construction or modification of the infrastructure might be needed. It will depend on the daily needs of the shelter and therefore you might need to support an event, support a presentation or simply participate in a festival. Flexibility and open-mindedness is a MUST.

Working hours are from 8.00 am to 12.00 plus 2 hours in the afternoon. Volunteers SHOULD BE READY to work actively and realize that the group dynamics and the necessities of the animals need mature and responsible volunteers. If you feel more as a tourist THIS IS NOT YOUR PLACE.
Remember that the island is dry and that you will get dirty every day working with animals

宿泊 Volunteers will sleep at the shelter which is located way out wub-wub in a remote area. The place is a studio that will be shared with other volunteers, not necessarily coming for a work camp. Therefore, there might be some transit with the group. The accommodation has single beds, a bathroom, a kitchen and common areas within the refuge facilities. Volunteers will have the option to stay at the refuge facilities during the volunteer camp participation period. Volunteers work at least 6 hours a day for 5 days a week
場所 TAARAF Cam. Buenavista, 14, 35639 Los Alares, Fuerteventura. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GT5Bi8kN8oYgh4877. TAARAF is located in a remote area. No tourist resorts close. Temperature is very high (we are very close to the Sahara Desert). Dust is everywhere. Be ready to live a rural experience.
Still, we recommend you to stay some days after. Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, offers many alternative and lesser-known places to visit beyond the typical tourist hotspots. Here are some suggestions like Cofete Beach, Betancuria, Ajuy Caves, El Cotillo, La Oliva and Las Salinas del Carmen as alternative places that can provide a deeper understanding of Fuerteventura’s culture, history, and natural beauty, offering a more enriching experience beyond the usual tourist trail.
集合場所 Members and coordinators of The Animal Academy will pick you up from Fuerteventura's airport by car.. Nearest airport is FUE. Nearest train or bus station is .

企画者・参加者の声 　「モンゴル」に憧れて参加。期待を裏切らない大自然。野菜の収穫は楽しかったけど、建設と水やりは少し寂しかった…不慣れながらも大人数の食事を準備したこと、みんなで文句を言いながらもやかんでお湯を沸かしてシャワーを浴びたこと、寒い中で星を見たこと、ささいな瞬間全てが「非日常」だった（経験者談）。
