Townhall of BuE uel
💼 What the programme involves
In the past years there have been some floods in the area due to proximity to the River Ebro. The water entered in the houses, the streets were completely flooded and it also destroyed some of the paths close to the riverside. The work will consist basically to restore these old paths, but also doing other manual meaningful work that the municipality may consider valuable to restore in the town (cleaning parks, painting walls, helping in local events, etc).On the afternoons volunteers are asked to stay at the local swimming pool and organize some activities and games in English with local kids from different ages. That is why social life will be also very important.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The accommodation will be in the old teacher s house, which is actually a flat. It has diverse rooms and vols will sleep in bunk beds. Inside the volunteers will have all the facilities they may need (shower, washing machine, kitchen, etc). The house is very well located in the center of the town, next to the school, the park, the sport area and the swimming pool (where the activities are taking place during the afternoon).
