Kundapur (Children & Environment)
The Project: Kundapur is a town situated on the west coast of Karnataka near the beach, and very close to the Western Ghats (a mountain ridge). The Western Ghats is India's prime zone for bio-diversity, known for its number of animal and plant species in this region. FSL has been developing project for many years in this region and has now formed a very strong network of local partners and local volunteers. We cooperate with a large number of schools, orphanages, institutions for special education and the local authorities to develop projects that are meaningful for the development of this rural town. Work camps will focus on rural development, environment protection and children. The volunteers will spread awareness about environment protection and solid waste management to schoolchildren. They will also be involved in activities such as creative education and Basic English teaching through games and songs with the children from the local schools, including disabled kids (physically and/or mentally). The work might include some physical work for the renovation and betterment of the schools (painting, building playground, etc.).
Location: Kundapur is situated 100 kms north of the city of Mangalore, 300 kms from Panjim (Goa), and 450 kms from Bangalore.
Kundapur is accessible by bus/train from Mangalore, Bangalore, Panjim (Goa), and Mumbai. There are international and domestic airports in Bangalore, Goa, and Mumbai. The exact meeting point will be mentioned on the info sheets.
Accommodation: at the FSL Home Base, in shared rooms.
