๐ด๐ด๐ปSARDA Durban (SA Riding for the Disabled Association) is looking for volunteers๐ป๐ด๐ด
We operate out of the Summerveld Jockeys Academy, Shongweni.
We only operate during school terms and currently run sessions on Tuesday (Westpark)/ Wednesday (Fulton School) / Thursday (Browns Autistic) and Friday (Ethembeni and HOLAH) mornings.
Each session is 1 hour from 9.30-10.30 (Tuesday), 9-10am Wednesday/Thursday), with a double Friday session - 8.30-9.30am (Ethembeni) and 9.30-10.30 (HOLAH).
Volunteers must be over 16 yrs, able bodied and we ask them to be there at least 15 mins before the session starts.
We are an informal and friendly group of volunteers that have a love for children and usually, but not necessarily, horses. ๐ด Volunteers can be pony leaders or side walkers and can choose how many sessions and which days they would like to come. Most volunteers come at least once a week, but we do not insist on committing to a particular day nor frequency as we know life is busy and things change at the last minute.
A WhatsApp message goes out the day before each session and volunteers only respond if they can assist.
The childrensโ enthusiasm, as well as the horses and the beautiful surroundings, really make this a wonderful experience for both child and volunteer.
If you have any questions, please contact me, Liz, on 0837961532.
Have a great day. ๐ด๐ป
