Volunteering on Organic Farms to learn sustainable practices
My Travel Story
I want to take full advantage of the opportunities put in front of me and I want to travel. More importantly, I want to learn how to take better care of our earth. That is why I am volunteering for a program called worldwide organization of organic farming, or WWOOF. The idea is you travel to different organic and sustainable farms to learn about their practices. This comes with the hope that I can apply that knowledge to the way I live my life, and I can share that knowledge to others. A lot of agricultural practices hurt the planet and they hurt our bodies, and I want to play part in stopping that.
I love animals with every fiber of my being! I believe all creatures are made with a soul and belong on this earth just as much as we do. I've done some work with mustang rescue and rehabilitation locally, but through this program I will be able to learn more about how to help these beautiful creatures. I also will be working on cattle ranches, learning how to properly care and tend towards the animals that do so much for us. It is heartbreaking to see the amount of abuse in this industry, and I want to understand it better to know how to work to solve it.
This journey is important to me because I care about our planet and every living being on it. I want to see us get back to respecting one another and respecting our home, and respecting the animals that were here first. Nature has always been where I found my peace and my strength. It's the most healing thing.I think it's the most beautiful thing, and I know that there is so much out there to see and to experience. It can be really hard to dream, to take paths most people don't recognize as paths. But I believe in what I care about and I believe I can make a difference. And for just a chance at that, I will do everything possible.
Your donations are playing a huge part in the trajectory of my life. With the skills I will learn from this experience I plan to apply them to my work and in my life. I want to continue to be an advocate, to use my ideas and my creativity to be innovative in the ways that I can take my knowledge and pay it forward. I really really want to take everything I've learned to break into these fields and to work a job I love and I can see real growth from.
I will be happy to update anyone who is interested on my journey, again thank you so so much and God bless
