Descripción:
Kundapur is a town situated near the beach on the west coast of Karnataka state, and is very close to the Western Ghats (a mountain ridge). The Western Ghats is India s prime zone for bio-diversity and known for its animal and plant species in this region. FSL-India has been involved in developing projects for many years in this region and has now formed a very strong network of local partners and local volunteers. Invariably this is one of the prime locations for FSL-India to initiate development interventions in partnership with the local NGOs and civil society organisations. The volunteers will learn the Basics of Yoga and Meditation during the work camp. Every day there will be topics covered by a professional master (the person in charge of yoga and meditation classes), which will be practiced by the volunteers. Apart from this, volunteers will also help in creating awareness among the locals and school children on issues like Health and Hygiene, environmental protection, eco-clubs, eco-tourism, solid waste management etc.
Accommodation: In a rented Guest house or Hostel, with shared rooms. Accommodation can vary a lot in our camps from youth hostels, guest houses, lodges etc. The accommodation will be simple but comfortable and clean, so be prepared to live a simple lifestyle during these two weeks. Food: Indian food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Filtered water is always available for drinking purposes.
