About the project

House restoration for social pruposes in a Natural Park

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

PRADA NGO was created in 1996 to recover a house in a small village in León for social purposes. Since then they recover old buildings to create usable spaces for non-profit organizations. This year we will help “De Cutio” organization to build a house in Purujosa, a little village near Moncayo Natural Park, in order to open a self-managed and free of charge hostel for accommodate people in social risk condition (immigrants, refugees, poor people, etc.), disadvantage children from public schools, etc.

💼 What the programme involves

This will be the second year of the project, the work will be demolition, restoration of walls, remove debris to prepare the new building. The work could be hard this year too, just manual work, remove debris, stone, wooden beams… but always safe, and fun, we hope! Usually volunteers will work from 8-9 to 14-15h and then have the rest of the day free to enjoy the village’s beautiful surrounding area. Purujosa is inside Mocayo’s Natural Park and therefore is a great place to walk inside it, in its great paths and forests. The volunteers will also could do excursions and cultural visits to the historical surroundings of the village and several activities as yoga, ceramics, go to the swimming pool in a nearby village, sports, etc.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will stay in a house in the same village. There is a living room, mattresses, complete bathroom and full-equipped kitchen. The volunteers should bring sleeping bags and they will cook for themselves. Vegetarians are welcome!
