WORLD HERITAGE PROGRAM: Over the last fifteen years, the World Heritage Volunteers (WHV) initiative has grown tremendously due to the growing interest in and appreciation for the protection and preservation of World Heritage sites. For the second time, an international volunteer camp will be held in the municipality of Calpan. Among the objectives are to attract more tourism to the region, complement the development actions of this locality, evaluate the tangible and intangible heritage, and highlight the local cultural heritage. Calpan will once again receive national and international volunteers to carry out awareness-raising activities on the importance of preserving local cultural heritage, supporting the preservation of the former 16th century convent on the slopes of Popocatépetl. This project foresees a collaborative work with the managing instances of the patrimony of the state of Puebla.

Anreise zum Treffpunkt

BY BUS
You can take a bus from the airport or the TAPO terminal in Mexico City, ORO in the city of Cuautla or Cuernavaca. Arrival is at the Cholula Terminal which is 2 hours from Mexico city. From the airport you can get directly to the CAPU bus terminal in Puebla and from there take a transport to Cholula.
BY CAR
If you come by car, you can easily get there once you are in Cholula. Exit through Calle Tres in the direction of Huejotzingo. In 3.7 km you should turn left towards Calpan and follow the road until you reach Calpan. Transport accounts for a high percentage of greenhouse gas emissions on the planet.

At AMVIAC we try to reduce our ecological footprint by reducing the impact of our activities. We invite you to offset the carbon emissions of your trips and choose the most ecological means of transport.

Be aware that you will not be picked up for the airport. Campleaders will pick you up from the meeting point below :

MEETINNG POINT:
DATE : 16/07/2023
TIME : Between 12 pm and 5:00 p.m
BUS STATION : Cholula, Puebla

Weitere Infos

We recommend you bring different means of payment. It is always recommended to have enough money to travel and to face unforeseen circumstances, ideally through a combination of different means of payment. Keep your family and some friends informed about your trip, including the dates and places of stay and inform the embassy or consulate of your country in Mexico about your stay.

The volunteer must have Medical Insurance or cover any medical expenses that may arise. Since the costs of hospitalization and medical treatment in most countries have to be borne by the patient and can be quite high, we advise you to obtain health insurance with full coverage in case of illness or accident during the trip.

The most important thing to avoid problems during your trip is respect: respect the local population and their laws and customs. Respecting local customs also includes paying attention to clothing. It requires a special sensitivity regarding religious beliefs, and certain attitudes can be a source of misunderstandings and uncomfortable situations.

Other important tips to follow are: The use of drugs is prohibited within the collective spaces of volunteers and in general in AMVIAC projects. AMVIAC has the right to ask the volunteer to leave the project in case of drug use.

Anforderungen

Interest in cultural heritage issues. Bring some traditional items to show the local people about their culture.

In the municipality of Apizaco, green areas are very important, this is why the ecological department of the city council is in charge of maintaining these areas, seeking to stop the debarking worm plague, since this plague affects not only the infected tree, but also its environment. Also, in Apizaco there is a lagoon in which it is still possible to swim for people, therefore it is necessary to give it the adequate treatment in order to be able to keep enjoying this place.
This project in collaboration with the Municipal Youth Institute (Instituto Municipal de la Juventud) is looking to rescue the green areas of Apizaco through environmental practices with the support of local and international youth, promoting teamwork, culture, respect, empathy towards nature and in this way promote the development of the community.

Arbeit

Based on the time of the year the volunteers will be working during the day or at night in the months of August and September from 20:00 to 08:00. Depending on the number of turtles that come ashore, two teams might be formed among the volunteers. In this way, each group will be taking turns, working one night, and taking the next night off for recovery. In addition, the weekends are also spared for resting.

Please take into account that the schedule is subject to change depending on the weather conditions and the condition of the sea turtles and it is possible to work with crocodiles in case there is no work with turtles, this can happen mostly in the months of January and February. The coordinator or the camp leader will be informing you regarding your work schedule. Some of the activities to be performed are:

2. Moving the eggs to a protected place called Vivero.
3. Releasing newborn baby turtles into the sea.
4. Patrolling the beaches at night.
5. Making some reconstruction in the most important turtle camps of the region.
