About the project
Environment Education Culture (Tofo Beach-Inhambane 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
Volunteers will work from Monday to Friday, three hours in the morning and four in the afternoon. Saturdays and Sundays will be spent exploring the beaches, reserves and other outdoor areas.
● explore and promote local culture;
● work with 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.
🏠 Accommodation on site
🍲 Food
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.
📍 About the location
Participants must book their tickets to arrive at Maputo airport, the camp is 479km away from Maputo, the capital of Mozambique. The site can be reached by road.
🎒 Leisure activities
The evaluation meetings will be held in the AJOV’s headquarter in the capital city, at Maputo, because the staff frequently visits, supervises, and collects real data in the field.
The volunteers 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.
⚠️ Requirements
Requirement * Required skills, experience, and motivation: volunteers who are willing to join a movement which tries to tackle the issue of climate change by partaking in trees planting, waste recycling, raising awareness on the importance of a responsible transportation (Like riding a bicycle instead of driving a car) and the need of conserving energy at home and at work.
* Preferable skills, experience, and motivation: ability to learn from the environment and from others.
ℹ️ Additional information
Other points: As it was mentioned, if we are to get EFFECTIVE and TANGIBLE results from this project, volunteers are expected to motivate the farmers we will work with to facilitate the cooperation.
The participation fee (€350) covers basic accommodation, food, and project expenses during the camp. Please note that this does not include travel expenses to and from the camp, so participants are asked to keep a small amount of money for transport to the camp and vice-versa. We advise all volunteers to inform us when they plan to book their ticket to Mozambique.
Languages: Portuguese and English. The volunteers are welcome to speak to the locals and learn from them.
