Arbeit

This natural park is a natural reserve that has two lines of volunteering, the first is focused on conservation and its activities are aimed at caring for and protecting the environment, and the second aims at education with children, an alternative school and learning community in the heart of the reserve. As a volunteer you can work in the line that you like the most, having the possibility of working in both lines if you wish. The activities carried out in volunteering are the following:

1. Accompany and assist investigations carried out in the reserve
2. Maintenance of different spots, such as the small lake “laguna”, forest nursery, organic gardens, trails and infrastructure
3. Environmental education
4. Waste and compost management
5. Support in reforestation-restoration work (planting days)
6. Accompany the local, learning community´s activities (accompany walks with the children, starting new projects, accompany learning processes, play...)
7. Language classes with the children (according to the language(s) the volunteer knows)
8. Suggest, develop and carry out new initiatives and projects
9. Other activities according to the skills and abilities of the volunteer and according to the needs of the natural park and community living there

Working with the children in the park requires a high level of commitment and empathy. We are not looking for teachers, we are looking for people who understand that children are responsible for their learning process, and who want to accompany them in their explorations and self-directed learning.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

The volunteer house is located in the heart of a nature park. It has 2 shared rooms with beds available for 4 people individually and one double bed for a couple. There is also a bathroom, an equipped kitchen, a small living room, terrace and washing machine. The house is not always fully occupied. It may happen that you are the only volunteer, depending on the time of year.

Each volunteer who stays for at least two months is assigned a monthly budget to buy food according to his/her diet; the amount is enough to buy basic food in the local market. The volunteers are responsible for cooking their own meals, this is a perfect space to share recipes and carry out a culinary cultural exchange. Vegetarian food is available.

The water heater depends on the availability of gas. On some occasions, hot showers might not be available, but in general there is hot water available. The volunteers’ house has limited Wi-Fi (because there is only satellite internet in this remote area). It may only be used for basic needs, such as communication (some calls, messages, mails) and information (research, press), but not for large downloads, videos, streaming (music or movies), video calls, etc.

Lage und Freizeit

This natural park is located in the middle of a cloudy forest in the mountains, therefore it can be cold and rainy, depending on the season of the year. Given its location, the reserve is close to Bogotá (40 min approx.), there you will find many places to enjoy the Colombian culture.
In case you do not want to leave the reserve, we have some activities that you can do in your free time such as:
1. Night walks for wildlife watching (weekends)
2. Trekking inside and outside the park (e.g. visiting other village on trails)
3. Extreme sport and wellness activities: zip line, arborism, tree climbing, music therapy (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
4. Horseback riding (must be agreed in advance with the areas, the park does not cover the cost of this activity)
5. Bonfires

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with the local group since 2019. This village has been welcoming Ohenro (pilgrims) who visit 88 temples in Shikoku since long time ago. The pilgrims walk through this village before visiting Kakurin-ji temple; the 20th temple out of 88 temples of the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage. However, there are problems which should be solved such as aging and depopulation of the community these days, and locals haven't been able to find solutions for those problems. On the other hand, since more and more people from overseas visit for the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage locals are trying to find new ways for omotenashi (hospitality). Volunteers who have been working on the project have come up with ideas for the reuse of vacant and abandoned land. Local host Oi have finally decided that they can freely renovate and modify the vacant houses. Moreover, the site is in a good location, with mountains, a river and fields. It is up to the volunteers from now on to decide how to develop the project. The aim is for the volunteer members to clean up the abandoned houses and village landscape and transform it into a village that people will want to visit to take photos, as it used to be a village where people came and went since ancient times.

Xisanliao Community is situated in Taichung City, in close proximity to Da-Du mountain. Although not located in the countryside, the community retains its rural charm with approximately 60 percent of the residents engaged in farming activities, predominantly cultivating crops such as wheat, rice, and other grains. Over the past decade, the establishment of the Central Taiwan Science Park adjacent to our community has prompted many young individuals to return to their roots.Adding to the unique features of our community, Taichung International Airport, which was once the largest air force base in the Far East during the 1960s, is situated nearby. Additionally, there is a Japanese school within our community, enriching the cultural diversity of our surroundings. By embracing this diverse range of cultures, we aspire to create a thriving and cohesive Xiu-Shan Community for all its residents.Aims:1.Preservation Lion Head culture: During the workcamp, volunteers will make their own lion head and painting. The lion head is an indispensable part of the traditional lion dance performance in Xiushan community. We believe that through hands-on participation in this activity, our community can transform into a vibrant folk art village, promoting our rich cultural heritage.2.Community Health promotion: Participate in community senior care service activities, with international volunteers leading seniors in health promotion activities (three days a week) to encourage seniors to leave their homes and enjoy their golden years.3.Encourage youth engagement in local activities: We hope that by having international volunteers participate in community activities, we can make community youth more interested in participating in community activities, have the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas with international youth, and understand cultural diversity.

Surrounded by historic stone buildings, meadows, and forests, the village welcomes people from diverse cultures, ages, and social backgrounds, creating a truly unique atmosphere. Purchased in ruins in the 1960s by the association Les Villages des Jeunes, the site has been entirely renovated and is now a vibrant living space, fueled by local and international connections. Vaunières is a place for meeting, working, and sharing, where everyone can enjoy both the serenity of the mountains and a dynamic collective energy. Today, the site thrives thanks to a dedicated team, international volunteers, and passing hikers. Roll up your sleeves and join us in our collective living spaces!

Are you ready to positively impact a community s health and wellness? Join us for the Health and Wellness Workcamp in Nepal, where you will help raise awareness about hygiene, sanitation, and healthy living in rural areas. This work camp allows you to volunteer abroad and contribute to lasting change in the lives of many while experiencing Nepal s rich culture and breathtaking landscapes.Why Nepal Needs Your Help:Nepal faces significant challenges in public health, with over 25 of its population living below the poverty line. Many rural communities lack access to clean water, proper sanitation, and adequate hygiene practices. Approximately 20 of Nepal s population does not have access to safe drinking water, and only a tiny percentage of households have adequate sanitation. This situation leaves the population vulnerable to health risks, especially children, who suffer the most from waterborne diseases and malnutrition.By volunteering for this workcamp, you ll directly contribute to improving public health by raising awareness of WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) practices, providing education on disease prevention, and supporting the development of more resilient communities.

Since 2000, volunteers from all over the world have participated in summer programs designed to help improve the vegetable farm at the Childcare Center of Mongolia (Children's Home). However, between 2014-2018 they decided to discontinue their farming activities due to a lack of human resources and the unavailability of farming land. In 2017, our organization managed to rent farming land for the Children's Home, and they resumed their farming activities on this new land. As a result, our cooperation with their farm restarted in 2018. One of the main roles of international volunteers will be assisting with the farming work at the Children's Home.
