About Us

For 15 years, we've been dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing home for our donkeys while offering engaging activities like hikes, children's events, and pottery workshops led by our talented friend André. This year marks an exciting new chapter as we embark on creating Donkey Valley—a vibrant space where people can reconnect with nature, themselves, and the magic of donkeys.

What We Do

Our mission is to build a welcoming environment filled with clay buildings, gardens, and creative spaces that harmonize with the land. As we transition to this new home for our beloved donkeys, we invite you to join us in building this dream from the ground up.

What We're Looking For

We are seeking adventurous and dedicated volunteers who are excited to roll up their sleeves and help us realize our vision. If you love animals and nature, you'll feel right at home here! The first phase of our project includes:
  • Creating a new volunteer space
  • Workshops on natural building, clay and woodwork, and gardening
  • Spending quality time with our donkeys, who are at the heart of everything we do

What We Offer

  • A supportive, friendly community of artists, builders, surfers, and nature lovers
  • Hands-on learning in alternative, sustainable living practices
  • Food, shelter, and a welcoming, family-like atmosphere
  • The chance to work alongside our wonderful donkeys and contribute to an inspiring project that brings together art, animals, and nature
As a volunteer, you'll live close to nature, camping in tents, cooking in an outdoor kitchen, and gathering around a warm fire during the pleasant Portuguese winter.
