We work Monday to Friday from 7:45am to 12:45pm. Depending on the class schedules, volunteers may work 2-3 days a week. Volunteers help up to 15 hours a week. Volunteers can also help in other activities depending on their skills.
On a typical day, volunteers prepare their class in advance (afternoon/evening) with the topics to be taught and/or creating new activities for teaching.
Weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday): Depending on the weather and the group of volunteers,
we offer excursions to local sights such as waterfalls, swimming in the river,
visiting natural reserve or a fruit plantation, camping and fishing.
On some
weekends we are planning scout trips, which can be over night in tents or day
trips. Depending on our destination the group will take transportation and then
continue to hike or hike all the way to our base.
There we will put up the tents, make a fire and explain to the kids the
important rules. Volunteers can offer
group games, singing songs, but also educational games such as observing
different bird songs, collecting plants, using magnifying glasses and
binoculars, sketching animals and so on. We close the day together at the
campfire.
If there is a group of at least five volunteers who are interested,
we can offer a trip to a native community. Transportation costs for this
excursion and other expenses are not included in the package.
