Italy
Join this World Horizons trip as we travel to historic Rome to help out at the Hippotherapy Center on the outskirts of the city. Hippotherapy uses the movement of the horse to address a variety of motor and other developmental deficiencies.
Students will be housed in a new building at the center and our project will probably include some construction of new paddock fences, obstacle courses, grounds work and some painting as well as assisting the therapists with the work. What better way to explore the old world of Italy while making an invaluable contribution to children and adults with special needs.
"My trip was really great. It gave me a chance to become more independent and also to see how lucky I am to live the way I do. I met really great people on the trip and had a chance to help people with far less than anyone I know. The trip made me appreciate what I have because I saw people with barely any money, yet they were always satisfied with what little they had." -- Priya Srinivasan, New Jersey
