|
Description |
Volunteer in a beautiful, subtropical part of rural Ecuador, in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. Help a small charity working for “Green Progress”, i.e. environmentally-responsible social and economic development. The charity, CRACYP, is recognized for pioneering work in rural development and you can help out with whatever environmental and social projects are happening at the time.
Volunteer work might include improving safety on organic sugar cane plantations, researching excursions for an ecotourism project, helping in the village school, developing an organic vegetable plot with the students, or planning new projects to process raw materials produced in the area.
Some Spanish lessons are included as part of the program so that you will be able to communicate with the friendly people in this small agricultural village.
No experience needed. This is a rewarding way to get off the beaten track and see a different side of life in Ecuador. You’ll stay in a small farming village in the beautiful sugar cane hills in the Western Andes.
Opportunities available for 1 to 8 weeks, all year round. For more information, see http://www.progresoverde.org/volunteer_ecuador.html or email volunteer.ecuador@yahoo.co.uk quoting reference SDVolJul10. |
