About the project
Organic biogardens for poor family
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Even though our NGO was founded a year ago, our team has been doing social projects for more than 15 years so far. The projects we have being doing are focused on improving children, single mothers and elderly's lives. We have built more than 24 soup kitchen just during pandemic, more than 5 day care center before pandemic, built steps for people who live on very remote ares of lima, libraries for children with no school access and of course all of the projects go with food donations, and winter clothes donations.
💼 What the programme involves
We want to build BIO GARDENS for extremely poor families in order to make them less dependent on charity. The bio gardens allow mothers to growth their own food and improve their children's diet. As always we seek to make projects that can be sustainable and long lasting.
There are different fun activities for the bio garden project:
-Building small wooden structure where the plants will grow.
-Painting the wooden structures.
-Buying seeds and compost.
-Planting vegetables seeds.
-Teaching neighbors how to maintain the bio gardens.
-Installing fog catcher, etc.
For this activities there will always be a Reciprocity coordinator that will be helping with the guidance to make the projects successful.
We pick up our volunteers (around 8:30 am) from their accommodation and then we take them to the workcamp. At the workcamp, we will meet the local mothers that will served just homemade breakfast that everybody will enjoy. After breakfast, it is time to work (do the task assigned by the coordinator) together with locals that will also participate. Around noon, volunteers will enjoy lunch, everybody will gather at a local home to have a warm lunch and spend a good time just like a family. Around 5 pm, a reciprocity car and coordinator will go to pick up the volunteers from the workcamp to take them to their accommodation, of course dinner will also be served in a local restaurant close to the accommodation.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Our workcamps are located in shanty towns with very limited access to facilities that is why we prefer to organize the accommodation in the urban areas where volunteers can rest and enjoy their free time. One of the best options for volunteers is to stay in Airbnbs that have all the facilities.
🍲 Food
We offer healthy and tasty food for all the volunteers. Besides, we take care of volunteer's special diets or restrictions. We mean, our cooks are trained to serve, vegetarian food, vegan food, pescatarian or modify the ingredients case of food allergy.
3 meals a day are offered.
📍 About the location
Even though the shanty towns have a lot of needs, something that you will alway have is plenty smiles from locals, a sense of team work to make the project possible and of course the possibility to improve your spanish. Locals will be always ready to help if needed and of course Receiprocity will always be monitoring if the volunteers need something. Of course, you will meet towns with a lot of history and plenty traditions that makes them rich culturally speaking.
🎒 Leisure activities
There are activities like visiting local schools, soup kitchens and learning centers. Volunteers can also enjoy of the communities games (football) and leisure activities like dancing traditional music. Another beautiful idea is to participate of the donations activities, volunteers can go with our coordinators delivering food and cloth to different communities around the workcamp.
