About the project
Environment Education Children (Boane District Maputo Province)
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Benefits :
● experiencing new cultures;
● broadening your horizons;
● building your global network.
Additional benefits :
Volunteers will be in direct contact with the national culture and they will acquire basic knowledge of the local language: how to greet others, how to call some items that are part of their daily life, etc. They will enter a new environment, in which they will have to adapt to change so that they can discover more about themselves and their potential. Here, they are expected to share their ideas, views, and past experiences, because they will be appreciated, and they can change someone’s life.
💼 What the programme involves
Camp Activities:
● explore and promote the local culture;
● work with the local community to participate in social & community missions;
● environmental Education.
The volunteers will have some time for culture sharing, language exchange and cultural nights. They may bring anything that might inspire others or that they would like to share during the camp.
Volunteers will be hosted in local homes and families during the camp period to allow inter-cultural learning.
Volunteers can choose to apply for a period of one month.
Volunteers will work from Monday to Friday, four hours in the morning and three in the afternoon. Saturdays and Sundays will be spent exploring the beaches, reserves and other outdoor areas.
Training and care of the volunteers:
They will take a training course on arrival (about the site, the length of the project…) at AJOV’s headquarter, in Maputo. This training will be completed in a week. During this training, the volunteers will learn more about the ways our camp benefit the local population in their daily activities. This should in turn raise the level of the volunteer’s commitment to the project.
The team will benefit from skype talks, staff and friends visits during the project.
Evaluation meetings:
The evaluation meetings will be held in the association's headquarter in the capital city, at Maputo, because the staff frequently visits, supervises, and collects real data in the field.

The accomodations will be provided by the local association.
🍲 Food
Meals: Provided by us, the organization. However, volunteers are free to use their pocket money to purchase whatever they wish at any time. In addition to the fee amount, there is another amount of 5€ for the transportation from the airport to the venue.
