Vereinigung Junger Freiwilliger

Beschreibung:
PROJECT: International volunteers will participate in a program to protect the marine turtle working in tight collaboration with the local population of a beach located in a beautiful virgin beach, the project seeks for make sure the reproduction of the turtles and preservation of the specie for the future. There are two species of turtles arriving to this area: Negra (Black Turtle) and Golfina (Olive Riddle Turtle). The people involved in the project will help by collecting eggs, burying them into the turtle camp, taking care of the baby turtles and collecting some statistical data. Moreover, a group of international volunteers will be involved in the project as staff members, which means that they will be deeply implicated in the project working full time. The goal of this project is to protect the turtles and to help to run preservation activities focused in protecting endangered species, promoting at the same time international cooperation and international solidarity. WORK: The main work consists in collecting turtle eggs, burying them again in a secure place and getting the baby turtles back safely to the sea. This must be carried out by night since turtles do not go out the ocean by day (because of natural predators, it is safer for turtles to get out the ocean in the dark). In collaboration with local indigenous people from Colola, volunteers will seek for the turtles taking care of their eggs and the baby turtles. Locals are very friendly and working with them is very pleasant as they explain to the group what to do. We need very motivated volunteers who really want to get involved in this project willing to interact with the local people and their culture. There are also some extra activities to do with the local people to help to improve the town like setting names to the streets or helping to arrange an all purpose play ground for the children and maybe some cleaning tasks, but it depends on your initiative! Local people are very open to participate in other activities and volunteers can also propose their own initiatives, so your ideas will be welcomed! ACCOMODATION: Volunteers will stay at the turtle camp in a wooden construction made of coco palm trees. It is safe and very fresh (needed in the warm weather of the beach!!!). There are wooden beds (no mattresses!), a kitchen, a rustic bathroom and a place to stock food. There is electricity just enough to light some lamps) and it is necessary to bring sleeping bag and mattress.

Notes:
REMARKS: All the volunteers placed in this camp will receive personalized online advice and online support to organize their trip to Mexico, and also all volunteers will be given on their arrival to the camp a discount card to save money in the activities they realize in Mexico. All volunteers who participate in 2 camps or more will receive a free Spanish course during 1 week (including hosting, professional teacher, conversation practice, cultural training, materials and 3 hours of classes daily).
