PROJECT SPARKLE! ✨

Our dear volunteer, Roos, has an acquired brain injury.

Roos used to volunteer with us and the children absolutely adore her! Sadly, she had to stop because her condition worsened.

Four years ago, she was in an accident that caused brain damage. Since then, life has been more about surviving than truly living.

In the United States, there’s a treatment that offers real hope for recovery, but it comes at a high cost.

Roos has started a crowdfunding campaign to make this treatment possible. We believe she deserves the chance to live a full and joyful life again, the life of a 31-year-old woman.

Will you help?

Watch the documentary to see what her life looks like today.

Go Roos ♥️

Everyone, meet TED 🐴
27 years old, full of wisdom and our newest gentle giant.

Ted’s life hasn’t always been easy.
He was once a rescue,
brought back to health with a lot of love.
Over the years he became a superstar in the show ring, carrying his former owner’s son through many competitions.

If you look closely, you’ll see a big scar on his back.
It tells a story too but it doesn’t hurt him.
We take care of it every day,
keeping it soft and safe from the sun.
Ted also has no front teeth anymore because of cribbing.
Cribbing is a habit some horses develop when they’ve had stress or boredom in their past. But here, he’s not alone. He has space, friends and peace. ✨

The best part? Ted is still so full of life.
He loves a ride outside, ears pricked, showing us the way. And when he’s had enough, he tells us and we listen. Because this is his retirement, his rules, his time to enjoy.

We already call him our big friendly giant.
And honestly…
he’s the kind of soul you just want to hug forever.♥️

Enthousiaste begeleider voor zorgboerderij gezocht!

Lijkt het jou tof om te werken binnen een klein en krachtig team, waarbij tijd voor de deelnemers centraal staat en goede zorg geboden wordt?

Een dag bij Kurá Pa Kura is nooit hetzelfde!
De activiteiten bestaan voor onze deelnemers in grote lijnen uit het verzorgen van onze rescue dieren, activiteiten die bijdragen aan de ontwikkeling van het sociaal en emotioneel vermogen en vooral plezier maken op en rond de boerderij.

Hierbij werken we zelf natuurlijk actief mee. Voor jou als begeleider helpen deze activiteiten om de zorgdoelen te behalen.

Wij zijn op zoek naar een flexibele collega met een positieve instelling, die het leuk vindt om bij fysieke werkzaamheden de armen uit de mouwen te steken en bijdraagt aan een warme, betrokken, huiselijke sfeer.

Wij ervaren dat de dagbesteding en een zinvolle naschoolse farmclub in een veilige omgeving bijdraagt aan een beter functioneren. We bieden dagbesteding waarbij deelnemers positieve ervaringen opdoen, fijne sociale contacten hebben en waardevolle momenten beleven.
Ook is onze farmclub voor iedereen, met en zonder rugzakje.

Sluit dit bij jou aan en heb jij de kwaliteiten in huis om dit te begeleiden bij een soms complexe doelgroep uit met name de psychiatrie?

Wij zijn opzoek naar iemand die 2 ochtenden de dagbesteding wil begeleiden. Woensdag en vrijdagochtend van 09:00 - 12:00.

Ook zijn we opzoek naar een begeleider voor de farmclub. Dinsdag, woensdag en donderdag (in de toekomst misschien vrijdagmiddag) van 14:00 - 17:00.

Je werkt onder een overeenkomst van opdracht en krijgt een marktconform salaris.

Is dit helemaal iets voor jou?
Mail je CV en korte motivatie naar: kurapakuracuracao@gmail.com

Hopelijk tot snel♥️

Why We Don’t Ride Our Horses

At our care farm, you’ll notice something a little different — our horses and donkeys aren’t here to be ridden.
Most of them are rescues, with stories and scars that we may never fully understand. Some can be ridden, but they’re not beginner horses, and their healing comes first.

We believe in connection before expectation.

We teach our visitors, especially the kids, that horses are not here for us. They are not objects.
They are souls with histories, feelings, and their own voices. They’ve been through enough.
Now, it’s time to show them what unconditional love looks like.

Instead of riding, we:
🐴 Walk beside them
🧼 Groom and brush them
🤲 Massage and care for them
🎲 Play games and build trust
🌞 Simply be with them in peace

Sometimes, a child may lay on a horse’s back, cuddle up, or take a quiet ride around the paddock .
But only if the horse chooses to say yes.
And if that “yes” never comes? That’s perfectly okay.

On Saturday mornings, we host our Pony Club.
A peaceful & playful time where we sometimes ride the horses who are physically and mentally able and who enjoy it. But even then, connection and the well-being of the horse always come first. Riding is never the goal relationship is.

We are not a riding school. We are a sanctuary.
A safe place where animals and people can just be.
Where we learn patience, empathy and what it truly means to respect another being.

We are not their past.
We are their future.
And we will protect it.

🌿 Mental Health Monday 🌿

FarmClub is more than just an after-school club.
It’s a space where children care for rescue animals,
learn about nature, and grow through real, meaningful experiences. But what really makes FarmClub special is what happens beneath the surface.

We work with a beautiful mix of children, some are highly sensitive, introverted or on the autism spectrum. Others have ADHD, ODD or behavioral challenges.
Each child brings something unique and we love them just as they are.
But being together in one group?
That’s not always easy.

To an outsider, it might look like we just throw all the kids together and hope for the best.
But what you don’t see is the behind-the-scenes work.
the daily check-ins, the team meetings, the calls with parents & the careful planning.

We look at each child individually:
✨ What does this child need?
✨ Who can they connect with right now, and who not yet?
✨ How do we move towards inclusion?
Slowly, respectfully, and with intention?

Some afternoons take everything we’ve got.
But this is what Kurá pa Kurá stands for:
🌱 A place for every child.
🌱 A place where every story matters with or without a backpack full of challenges.
🌱 A place that reflects the real world, where we learn to navigate differences with compassion.

Sometimes, a child doesn’t fully land in the group or on the farm. And that’s okay too. That’s not failure.
That’s being honest about what works for them even if it means finding another path.

The child always comes first. Always. ❤️

You can’t reason with a brain that doesn’t feel safe.

When a child is overwhelmed,
they don’t need lectures or logic.
They need calm. They need connection.
They need to feel safe in their body
before they can hear your words.

On our care farm, kids find that calm through
animals, nature, and movement.

Brushing a pony. Feeding goats. Running barefoot.

These moments aren’t just sweet, they’re regulating.
Rregulated kids are reachable kids.

💚
Next time your child is melting down, try this:
Don’t ask questions. Don’t rush to fix.
Just regulate first.
The rest will follow.

Not all therapy looks like talking.
Sometimes it looks like holding a chicken, brushing a pony or lying under a tree and listening to the wind.

On our care farm we believe healing happens when kids feel safe in their bodies, not trapped in their thoughts.

Animals don’t rush you. Nature doesn’t ask questions.
They just let you be and that’s where the magic begins.

ANXIETY IN KIDS DOESN’T ALWAYS LOOK LIKE WORRY OR FEAR…

Sometimes it looks like tummy aches, meltdowns after school, or refusing to go to a birthday party.

At our care farm,
we see the signs kids can’t always explain.
We don’t ask them to talk right away.
We let them brush a pony, feed a chicken or run barefoot in the grass. We let their bodies feel safe again.

Because healing often begins before words.
