📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
In 2009 the Victoria Falls (shared between Zambia and Zimbabwe) was celebrating its 20th anniversary after being declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. In commemoration of this event we hosted the first Patrimonito camp in Zambia celebrating the Victoria Falls and the area surrounding it. Next year we will work at the Victoria Falls educating tourists on the importance of maintaining the Heritage Area clean and sustainable. The project is hosted in the city of Livingstone
💼 What the programme involves
The project will place emphasis on educating tourists on the importance of respecting the Victoria Falls and maintaining its place as a World Heritage Site. The project will also help the local school paint its classes and have heritage lessons with the pupils.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The participants will be hosted at Palm groove Basic School, which is the local school where the other half of the project will take place. There are adequate sanitation facilities and the participants will prepare their own meals. Volunteers are required to bring their own sleeping bags and mats when coming to the camps
📍 About the location
Since the project is done in partnership with the National heritage Conservation Commission, we look to them to provide alternative areas of interest we might go to. In 2011, they arranged for the participants to visit areas of interest and also organized a boat cruise, game viewing and a guaranteed visit to the Victoria Falls every day. Livingstone is the tourist capital of the country and there's no limit to what one can do in their free time. Travel expenses from Lusaka to work camp places and back are not covered in camp fee.
