My Travel Story

Hello everyone,

After starting my career working with NGOs and the United Nations I have decided to continue dedicating my life to others through my passion, horses.

I just passed my equine assisted learning certification in France at the visionpure centre where the training is based on Linda Kohanov's Eponaquest© methodology.

Whilst looking to gain professional experience, I discovered a fantastic equine therapy program for disabled children project in South Africa. It is a perfect opportunity which would allow me to continue working in the humanitarian arena whilst caring for children with specific needs, and to gain invaluable experience in my chosen specialization.

This project will certainly make a major, positive impact on my professional development and give me a great chance to play a part in something I am passionate about.

As Eugene Ionesco said, "childhood is the world of miracle and wonder". It deserves our greatest attention, doesn't it?

I am very happy and excited to share this news with you, and hope you will join me in this adventure.

Warmest wishes,

Vickie
