Calling volunteers for the Junin community, Ecuador
The Junin Community, famous for its fight against the mine companies, is offering volunteer programs for people interested in collaborating to the community sustainable development. In particular we need people to help us in:
- Comunity tourism (in promotion and as tour guides)
- Flora and fauna studies
- Antrophology and sociology studies
- English classes for tourist guides and in the local school
- Fair trade work with the women group, teaching cooking classes, crafts with local products, arts in general.
- Environmental education and working in the organic garden
- Helath assistance to the community
The program cost depend on how long the volunteer will work in the community and on which type of job he will perform.
Usually the volunteer will stay with a local family. Otherwise, it is possible to lodge in the existing tourist ecolodge.
