Calpan Puebla

The Mexican Association of International Volunteering AC (AMVIAC) participates in the transformation of the country through the integration of International Volunteering in projects organized in Mexico and abroad by civil associations, local governments, communities and organized groups, with the idea that after this experience they can become more actively involved in the work of their community.
The vision of the association is the transformation of Mexican society, especially young people, providing them with opportunities to travel and live unique experiences as volunteers both in Mexico and abroad, participating in projects of general interest and reversing that experience in their communities. schools, organizations and jobs, for the betterment of our country.

Over the last fourteen years, the World Heritage Volunteers (WHV) initiative has grown tremendously due to the growing interest in and appreciation for the protection and preservation of World Heritage sites. For the second time, an international volunteer camp will be held in the municipality of Calpan. Among the objectives are to attract more tourism to the region, complement the development actions of this locality, evaluate the tangible and intangible heritage, and highlight the local cultural heritage. Calpan will once again receive national and international volunteers to carry out awareness raising activities on the importance of preserving local cultural heritage, supporting the preservation of the former 16th century convent on the slopes of Popocatépetl. This project foresees a collaborative work with the managing instances of the patrimony of the state of Puebla.
