PROJECT: Let's get down to it! This project is looking for highly motivated volunteers to participate in the active life of Campus at the local School in Senguio Towns. This workcamp is about encouraging teamwork and creating an international cooperation environment. We are looking for international volunteers who want to share and increase their ecological awareness and inspire students and locals. International Volunteers who would like to share the exquisite cuisine of their countries, and have with children in different workshops and games.
WORK: The volunteers will take part in the following activites: You will team up with an Eco-group, which takes care of a handful of fun and helpful activities inside and outside the Campus. You will design an English conversation club within the students. Volunteers will collect clothes and food in the local community and in the school and will address the need of low-income communities. Since cultural sharing is important for everyone, as a volunteer you will take part in a traditional parade inside the community, to learn about its roots and magical stories. For example, ''the Mañanita Festival'' where you can enjoy traditional mexican food and folkloric music. Or taking part in a gastronomical demonstration, in which students and the international volunteers will work together and prepare some special dishes! You will also visit different primary schools and have small presentation about your country and things that you would like to share.
