📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The workcamp will take place both in the town of Tequila and the small surrounding communities. Tequila is a municipality and a town in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The name Tequila comes from the Nahuatl word “Tekilan”, (Place of workers) and it is known as a “magical village”.
It currently has a project working with high school students consisting of self-improvement workshops and various social responsibility programs. Another project is to support families of local artisans for the restoration of their workshops to make them more functional and attractive for tourism.
Finally, the second stage of a restoration and painting of walls in the city project is carried out. This project is conducted in coordination with youth and local artists to beautify the town.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will participate in the task of improving the workshops of local artisans, as well as in the restoration and maintenance of public spaces and city walls performing tasks such as patching, painting, coating, etc. Volunteers will have the opportunity to organize recreational and educational activities in one of the middle schools in the locality. In addition to that, volunteers will have the possibility to discover the way the famous drink Tequila is made.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will be housed in a Volunteering home
