Volunteering
The organization will work with a group of volunteer.
The volunteers will stay at the project for a period of at least 1 to 2 months. They may be people coming for an internship or for a personal experience. The volunteers will help in the development of the activities of the "house of the culture". But they will also bring new ideas and develop social projects with the community of Levanto and / or the city of Chachapoyas.
The volunteers will work Monday through Friday and have weekends free to enjoy the beauty of the area.
The region of Amazonas / Chachapoyas, has many archaeological sites and natural places to explore. So the volunteers will be able to take advantage of their free time to gather and explore the area.
To facilitate the integration and the communication between the volunteers and the local people, It will be advice to the volunteers to take spanish classes and for that a collaboration with one of the language schools of the city of Chachapoyas will be organized.
The volunteers will be asked to pay a monthly fee to the organization Ecolibri to finance its housing and food (250 soles a month). But no other fee will be charged for the volunteering. For breakfast, lunch and diner, some shifts will be organized in which groups of 2 or 3 volunteers will be in charge of buying food and cooking for the others. It will be a good way to facilitate their integration to the community of Levanto and an occasion for them to practice the spanish language.
The organization Ecolibri wants promote the integration of the volunteers to the community of Levanto. So regularly some activities will be organized in the main square of Levanto, inviting families to know and share the work of the children and adolescents done in the "cultural centre".
The organization Ecolibri hopes to work in collaboration with other volunteer organizations such as the french organizations "France Volunteer" and DSF (Development Without Borders) but also with other national volunteer programs such as the SVI (International Voluntary Service) and the SVE (European Voluntary Service) to be sent qualified to develop projects.
