IB/CAS Proposal
Candidate Name: Enya Calibuso
Activity/Project: Shumbashaba Horses Helping People
Date: 15 September 2014
Intro: I choose to continue volunteering at Shumbashaba Horses
Helping People for my second year because; it’s a very enriching experience to
work with large animals. It also allows me to enhance my skills in many avenues
such as: washing, brushing, feeding, and caring for horses. In return, it’s
very therapeutic for the horses, which enhance their positive attitudes,
health, trust in people, and standards of living. Being able to achieve this
experience in the completion of these two years will expand my knowledge on
large animals when I pursue the career of zoology.
Targeted Learning Outcomes: By volunteering at Shumbashaba, this will
allow me to take upon new challenges.
Some of the challenges may be getting a little dirty, physical labor, basic
medical care, and continuing to expand my knowledge on working with horses. I
accept these challenges each time I arrive at Shumbashaba to help the horses
and further my education. It is necessary to have clear communication and
collaboration between the AISJ team and the Shumbashaba staff. This will allow
us to use the time we have productively in a way that will benefit them. In
addition, communication and collaboration is a life skill, important to conduct
in everyday life. Ethical implications will
always be at the forefront of this project, as the humane treatment and care of
animals. Sensitivity to the animals needs and to be precautious around the
horses is necessary to not startle them or stress them.
This activity will complete my Action and
Service section of CAS.
Activity Description: As a second year return volunteer to
Shumbashaba Horses Helping People I will work in cooperation with the staff of
Shumbashaba to complete any tasks given. The skilled horse professional will
teach us any new skills to needed to perform the task at hand. Several tasks
could include: mucking stalls, basic medical care – temperatures, brushing, feeding,
compost, and walking. As a senior volunteer, I will be mentoring younger
students how to approach and work around horses. I will be timely and committed
to this project.
End: I am looking forward to another educational, rewarding year
working with the Shumbashaba horses, mentoring new students, and taking on new
tasks. I will be a positive role model by passing on lessons learnt, being
professional, and hard working. Reliability and safety will be a code of
conduct. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with large animals at
Shumbashaba, as it gives me prior experience necessary for college in the field
of zoology.
Specific Schedule for the Commitment: Shumbashaba meets every Monday from
approximately 3:10 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. The Shumbashaba volunteering will begin on
15 September 2014 to 7 May 2015.
