About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Comunidad Agropecuaria Industrial A.C. was founded 20 years ago and has had various volunteers from all over the world. Kibbutz means community, in specific to live in a community where the people sow and harvest their own food. This community also owns a hostel for events and a social center in Amexhe, Guanajuato. In the community, the environment is respected, they make their own compost and implemented green energy. Their mission is to be an auto-sustainable community respecting the environment and having a social impact. They pay attention to vulnerable social groups with few resources and aim to be very professional in the services of the hostel they have. The community's objectives are: To be 100% auto-sustainable. To cultivate 20 hectares of organic products. To have their own brand of dairy products and to offer them to the community. To contribute to the self-employment and education of the people in Amexhe.

💼 What the programme involves

The project Social Center includes attending to groups of children, adolescents, and adults. The project aims to give tools to these vulnerable groups of people to live better. The activities include offering English classes as well as classes in computer sciences, plumbing, electricity, handicrafts, sexuality, health, and more. Whatever qualifications the volunteer brings with him/her, the community likes him/her to use them. The daily timetable is: from 8.00 to 8.30 a.m. meditation, at 8.30 a.m. breakfast, work from 9.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. and from 3.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m., lunch during the break. Additionally, every Thursday at 7.00 p.m. there is a meeting of the community. The volunteers are going to have free time from Saturday at noon to Sunday 9.00 p.m.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The lodging is going to be in rooms with one or two beds and a private bath- room. The rooms are part of the project; therefore no transportation from the accommodation to the project is needed. From Monday to Saturday the breakfast and lunch is going to be cooked for everyone. The volunteers are going to cook themselves their diner and the meals on Sunday.
