About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Pecohue is a program that aims to promote the socialization and integration of young vulnerable people by facilitating the acquisition of work habits. It also aims to develop their skills, responsibility and autonomy. This project takes place in Agronomía, a neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The participants produce vegetable and compost. The final production is sold and the benefits are fairly shared between the participants.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will work together with the beneficiaries of the project maintaining the vegetable garden, producing organic food, creating new plants and helping in activities related to the agriculture process. They will cooperate to get the objectives of the project. Volunteers will have weekly meetings to discuss various topics in order to understand and complement their social intervention as volunteers. Besides, we aim to provide them with a complete social, historical, political and economic background. There will be solidarity activities planned for all the volunteers to have common inter-exchanges, like festivals, workshops in schools, etc.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers are hosted in the intercultural volunteer house with a capacity of up to 14 volunteers, kitchen, shared bathrooms, wifi, shared rooms. It is located in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires. Volunteers have lunch at the project. They should be flexible to eat local food. Besides, we will provide them ingredients for cooking in the house. Be prepared to live in a communitarian environment!
