🏢 About the local organisation
Our local partner is the town hall of El Saucejo. De Amicitia collaborated with them also in previous years.
💼 What the programme involves
This worcamp has been running for the last 10 years and we are determined to keep it alive despite the conditions created by COVID 19. Therefore previous tasks planned had to be changed and now volunteers will be gardering in the parks of the municipality and will helping in other tasks that may be required-We may have some space for creating workshops for the local kids from 3 to 12 years old as we did previous years creating games and to be the first contact in English comunication for those kids that they don´t have opportunity to learn and practice English language. Still social distance measures oblige us to prepare working activitis with low risk and therefore manual gardering work to support this lovely town in Andalucia is a way to keep alive a workcamp that has been running for years
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation will be in the gym of a high school. As there is no one in the school during the summer, the accommodation and also the school yard will be just for us. There will be mattresses provided. And also town hall will provide the food for us and it will be cooked by the volunteers in the basic camping kitchen in the school yard. There are showers and bathrooms for girls and boys separately. Summer sleeping bag and lower sheets will be needed!
This project will include a one day only vegan food day agreed by volunteers for the promotion of environmental sustainable lifestyle.
