🏢 About the local organisation
Leave the world of consumerist fashion and work with local associations that value human interaction-- that is the goal of this project. At the heart of your work will be discovering different ways of mobilizing and acting so that the human aspect is always put first. The association MJRC will host a group of 12 international volunteers on its premises. The association is focused on the local rural youth and serves as an opening to a new world. Come and get involved in the territory and change society with the leaders of this project. They are waiting for you!
💼 What the programme involves
You'll become familiar with stonecutting and traditional masonry techniques and repair the walls that surround the association's premises. You'll also participate in daily tasks along with other volunteers (cooking, housework, activities). Time spent constructing on the worksite is expected to take 6h.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You'll be living under tents (on floor mats) (2 to 3 people max) in the stadium that is 3 minutes by foot from the worksite and where you'll be spending your days. Food will be provided, and you'll organize menus and prepare meals alternately yourselves while accompanied by team leaders. We'll also organize frequent meals at local residents' homes, which will allow you to spend time with them while discovering local specialities.
