Travail

ASTOVOT's partner orphanages take in children from 5 to 16 years old. The children attend school in the morning and then spend the rest of the day at the orphanage, which provides them with basic education, health care, daily meals and clothing. Due to a lack of funds, orphanages are often understaffed and cannot adequately provide for the needs of the children. Voluntary work is therefore essential.

The partner orphanages are
- Sinai Orphanage
- Gmi Orphanage
- Saint-Martin Orphanage

The volunteer will (among other things) :
✔ Helping staff with daily tasks: meals, clothing, hygiene
✔ Take time to listen, encourage and give hope to children
✔ Provide games, literacy and development activities
✔ Organise outings

NB: The presence of the volunteer is mainly required in the afternoon. It will therefore be proposed to the volunteer to complete his/her schedule with other projects of his/her choice.

Logement et nourriture

International volunteers working on long to medium term projects are accommodated with Togolese host families. The families are chosen according to their proximity to the volunteer's place of work. They provide a private room for the volunteers as well as drinking water and 3 meals a day (meals are adapted according to the diet of each volunteer). The volunteer remains independent and is free to go out and participate in activities of his/her choice. Living with a host family allows a total immersion in Togolese life to discover all its facets.

Situation, loisirs

In addition to the main activities of the project, other activities are organised such as: discovery walks, hikes, festive outings and cultural meetings. These activities allow the volunteers to come into contact with the local population and to discover the Togolese culture.
During the weekends, collective excursions are organised by the volunteers to discover the tourist sites of the region where the workcamp is taking place. It should be noted that the expenses related to the excursions and the volunteers' outings are not included in the participation fees. However, the association can facilitate or negotiate transport for the volunteers during outings or excursions

Partenaire

The NGO Association Togolaise des Volontaires au Travail (ASTOVOT) has more than 60 years of experience in international voluntary service. Each year, it welcomes many volunteers from all over the world on short, medium and long term volunteer projects (3 weeks to 12 months) in Togo.
These projects allow the national volunteers (about 200) to work hand in hand with the international volunteers and to create a real intercultural exchange throughout the year.
ASTOVOT is a member of the Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary Service (CCIVS-UNESCO) and of the Network of Africa Voluntary Organisations (NAVO), and is in partnership with several volunteer organisations in Europe, Asia, the United States, Canada and Africa.
Its projects focus on community development through the promotion of education and citizenship, health, social, environmental protection and intercultural learning, renovation and construction of socio-community infrastructures.

The medical and social centres of "La Solidarité" and "Notre Dame de la Miséricode" located in Kpalimé as well as the "Bethesda" hospital centre in Agou-Nyogbo (12km from Kpalimé) have called on Astovot to welcome volunteers.

The volunteer will (among other things) :
✔ Assisting nursing staff

Travail

Togolese women are very involved in the socio-economic life of the country. Almost all of them have an income-generating activity. However, a large number of them do not have the opportunity to go to school or had to leave school very young. The literacy rate among women is low and they are left to fend for themselves in a system that does not provide them with any support.

In order to respond to this lack and to help women in their community development, Astovot has devised a 4-part programme adapted to their needs;

1. Functional literacy
2. Training and awareness raising
3. Support for cooperatives
4. Organisation of cultural events to promote their work

Volunteers wil (among other things):
✔ Accompany the facilitator in preparing and delivering the classes
✔ Search for speakers and themes for training and awareness raising
✔ Go to the field to interview and understand the needs of local women cooperatives
✔ Propose and deliver entrepreneurial capacity building trainings
✔ Helping to find funding
✔ Set up and design cultural events and activities
✔ Evaluate and participate in the perpetuation of the "women and community development" programme

Itinéraire vers le point de rendez-vous

We confirm the meeting place when we send the volunteer an invitation to participate in the camp.
From the airport to the avtovokzal in Bishkek (bus station)

Option 1: From the airport, you must go to the avtovokzal (or the bus station), where you will then get on a bus that goes to Karakol. From the airport, you can either take a marshrutka, which is a large van type of public transportation. When exiting the airport, this van will be to the right. There is a small sign with a van/bus on it where it comes. The marshrutka comes about every 30 minutes. The cost is standard 60 com. Just tell the driver avtovokzal" and he will tell you when you are there. The ride is about 20 to 30 minutes. Note: If you ask taxi drivers where the marshrutka is or when its coming, they will all tell you that it doesn’t exist or isn’t working that day to try and get you to take a taxi instead.

Option 2: Option 2 is to take a taxi from the airport to the avtovokzal. This is an easier but more expensive route. A taxi from the airport to the avtovokzal costs about 700 com (for the whole car). So if you plan to meet up with someone, you can share a cab for the price of 700 coms. If you share with a stranger however they will try to charge you 700 coms each. For this option, people usually just hire the entire cab for 800 coms and it will take you straight to the avtovokzal. Note: You must haggle and bargain for taxi's. 800 is the usual price, but they will try to charge foreigners as much as up to 2,000 com and try to get away with that price. You must say 700 com and be confident and walk away if (when) they say no. The taxi driver will then say okay and take the 700, or walk away and find another taxi driver. With a taxi the trip is about 20 minutes.

From the avtovokzal (bus stop) in Bishkek to Karakol:

Option 1: At the bus stop in Bishkek, there are a line of about 15 marshrutka's (large van like types of transportation) each with its own destination. The second van goes to Karakol. It will be parked in the second spot underneath the sign that says Karakol. The standard price is 400 com (no aggling/negotiating required) and it will take you to the bus stop in Karakol. The entire trip is around 6 hours, and it stops half way through at a rest area where people can use the bathroom and grab a snack or bite to eat. If you have to go to the bathroom before then, just ask the driver to stop and they will stop on the side of the road (or a public outhouse if you are very lucky and there is one near). They often have them at gas stations so if you are shy about going behind a bush, tell the driver to stop at the next gas station with a toilet (which will be an outhouse).

Option 2: The second option is a taxi. Some haggling is again required (they won't try to rip you off as much as at the airport, but they might say a price several hundred com above the normal price). Again say you know the price is 600 and they will usually agree to that price. However, in the summer it can be around 600 com and sometimes even up to 700 com. Step wagons (cars with 7 seats) will cost about 600 com, where a car with only 4 seats will cost about 600 coms. Aim for 600, as it is possible. As above, the trip is about 6 hours, maybe slightly faster (I usually take the marshrutka as there isn't much of a difference but its cheaper). The taxi will also stop half way through at a rest stop and will stop alongside the road if you say you need to go to the bathroom (men will just turn away from the road several meters behind the taxi, where women will find a bush to hide behind when a bathroom stop is needed).

Note: Some taxi drivers will drop you off at the avtovokzal in karakol (same as option 1), but some will take you straight to your home address (for no additional cost). This is something that must be negotiated before you leave. Simply ask the driver if they will drive you to the avtovokzal, or all the way to your home.

The challenge of food security, especially in the face of rising food prices, places a serious responsibility before the country. Despite immense advances in the agriculture sector, many people still sleep hungry or live under the threat of food shortage. The degradation of natural resources is also a major concern as it severely impacts the livelihoods of poor and backward communities in rural areas. In this backdrop, sustainable agriculture is one of the most effective ways to respond to the challenges of the rural community.
In essence, Sustainable Agriculture refers to a set of practices adopted for cultivation that are least harmful to the environment while also ensuring a good crop. It involves crop production methods that support sustainable natural resource management to increase crop productivity, maintain biodiversity, and also are economically viable and socially acceptable. Organic farming is generally
sustainable; however, organic produce can also be cultivated on large scale industrial farms that are not sustainable. Soil and water management, organic farming, integrated pest management, and integrated nutrient management are common practices promoted under sustainable agriculture. Sustainable agricultural development, as well as employing organic farming methods, seeks food and nutritional security, improved livelihoods for our people, safe ecosystems, and sustainable economies of agriculture.
As a volunteer in this field of work you will -
• Work with the farming community and the associated organizations that assist in sustainable agriculture and/or organic farming.
• Conduct community awareness on the importance of sustainable agriculture.
• Facilitate training and capacity building on crop productivity, how to maintain biodiversity, water management, organic farming, integrated pest management, and integrated nutrient management,
surveys, documentations etc.

The Info-sheet will have more information regarding the individual projects with schedules, and activities.

Many NGOs and nonprofits in India are often understaffed and overstretched in terms of human resources. The grassroots organizations in particular, often lack the funds to dedicate personnel for knowledge management. Although well versed in the vernacular of the region and experts in their own field of work, staffs in many NGOs and nonprofits finds it quite challenging to document their activities in English. Yet this knowledge management process is an integral function of any organization.

Volunteers interested in this field of work will be involved in:
• Designing and creating content for the organization’s offline and online communication
platforms. This may include annual reports, brochures, blog articles, website content, social
media platforms, press releases among others.
• Research, either through primary or secondary data collection, on impact of program
implementation, feasibility of program action plans etc., as per the needs of the organization.
• Documentation: this may include report writing, putting in place documentation procedures,
recording organizational program activities, among others.

Travail

Working with people/children who deal with different forms of physical or intellectual challenges can be quite a demanding task for anyone. However, despite the challenges they never lack in terms of
spirit and enthusiasm and working along with them can bring you a lot of joy and give a lot of life learning experiences.
The main work will be teaching and supporting the staff in their daily activities for the care of the children. As a volunteer, you will be involved in Individual goal setting and planning for holistic development of children/persons with special needs through home-based, community based or
institutional based approach. It needs a bit of flexibility and openness to all kinds of works and activities.
These children are subject to multiple deprivations and limited opportunities in several dimensions of their lives. They are mostly rejected by mainstream society and face grave discrimination

Your work schedule include:
• We believe volunteers can be huge change-makers in such projects by participating and bringing joy in lives of these children, and help the NGO to bring some structure changes in their daily lives and prepare them for adulthood.
• Involve in maintenance and gardening work, prepare and serve meals, cleaning and providing company.
• A creative approach to work is useful and you will have the opportunity to initiate new mini projects or activities. A flexible approach to the work with to be prepared to undertake multiple tasks is very
necessary to work in these projects.
