Vive Mexico has been organizing this project regularly in Rincon de Guayabitos, Nayarit since 2014. The main achievement of the project is to protect the sea turtles with the help of volunteers who will be cooperating with a team of biologists.

The Maasai tribe (or Maasai) is a unique and popular tribe due to their long preserved culture. Despite education, civilization and western cultural influences, the Maasai people have clung to their traditional way of life, making them a symbol of Kenyan culture.
Maasai's distinctive culture, dress style and strategic territory along the game parks of Kenya and Tanzania have made them one of East Africa's most internationally famous tourist attractions.
The Maasai people reside in both Kenya and Tanzania, living along the border of the two countries. They are a smaller tribe, accounting for only about 0.7 percent of Kenya's population, with a similar number living in Tanzania. Maasai’s speak Maa, a Nilotic ethnic language from their origin in the Nile region of North Africa.
The Samburu tribe is the closest to the Maasai in both language and cultural authenticity.
Through rituals and ceremonies, including circumcision, Maasai boys are guided and mentored by their fathers and other elders on how to become a warrior. Although they still live their carefree lives as boys
- raiding cattle, chasing young girls, and game hunting - a Maasai boy must also learn all of the cultural practices, customary laws and responsibilities he'll require as an elder.
The wildlife, culture, conservation and education village centre offers volunteers the ultimate opportunity to explore, learn and interact with the Maasai community and their culture. The Mara conservation gives them a platform to serve, interact and also live like the Maasai people. Above all, the Conservancy is managed according to a model that protects the delicate eco-system and benefits the landowners who are the Maasai people.
The wild life, culture, conservation and education in Kenya is home to the big cats situated on the mararienda most point of the Greater Mara Ecosystem; borders the Olchorro Oliroua Conservancy to the south, and MMNC to the East. The important focus of the conservancy is livestock improvement through innovative cattle management programs, running alongside novel tourism projects.
The habitat comprises wooded acacia savannah with open plains on flat plateaus, riverine acacia forest and rocky, undulating hills which provide a varied habitat for browsing and grazing ungulates, as well as hideout thickets for the predators. The Mara River runs alongside the conservancy. There is a large number of giraffe and resident buffalo that live close to the Olerai boundary along the Mara River. Elephants frequent the conservancy and there is a pride of lion based on the edge of oloisukut. There are many hippos and crocodiles in the section of the river that borders the conservancy and the riverine forests which provide an area popular with leopards. Rare species such as Aardvark, Caracal, serval cat and Aardwolf are occasionally found.

You’ll soon realize that tea is the most popular beverage in Nepal: whenever you visit a family you’ll be offered a cup. When and for how long? Long term volunteering lasts 2 to 5 months. It takes some time to get used to the different lifestyle, so we advise to stay for as long as possible. Camps start the first Monday of every month. Location we provide living all over Nepal. Depending on your interest and willingness, you ca choose to stay in a variety of different places: in or around the Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara, Tanahun, Lamjung, Chitwan, Makwanpur or Nawalparasi. You could stay in a secluded village, where people live in a more traditional way and provide for themselves through farming, which is also a great opportunity to explore the real rural Nepal, or you could opt for a more urban and modern Nepal experience in one of the bustling and fast-growing cities, like Kathmandu or Pokhara. What to bring Seasonal clothing, sleeping bag, comfortable shoes, mosquito net, music player, reading material, photographs from your country. Also art related material is appreciated. Pencils, pens, notebooks and textbooks for the kids are also greatly appreciated, and can be bought for a reasonable price in Kathmandu prior to your departure. Before the project Before your project starts, we strongly advise that you attend our 3-day orientation seminar at the Training Center in Kathmandu, which aims to provide basic knowledge about the Nepalese education system, culture, dress, food, as well as detailed information about the project, the school, Nepali language classes and much more. The orientation seminar starts on the first Monday of every month, but can be arranged according to each volunteer’s travel itineraries. During the orientation you’ll be staying at our dormitory in Kathmandu along with the other volunteers waiting to go to their respective placements. Every morning and evening you’ll eat together with FFN staff. Requirements Volunteers must be at least 18yo. No formal education is required, but relevant qualifications are very much appreciated.

Nepal is a very safe country, and at the moment there is NO political conflict. Eve during the conflict, Nepal was ever unsafe for volunteers; we hosted several volunteers from around the world during that period. All our long term projects are located in safe areas. You will stay with families that have hosted volunteers before, and you will be regularly in contact with FFN members. However, problems or misunderstandings may arise if you’re not respectful of the culture you’ll be living in. Below are some important points to take into consideration:
1. you might stay in places where medical facilities are not as close as you’re used to.
2. Don’t walk alone at night, and brig someone trustworthy if you ever feel unsafe.
3. Don’t walk alone in forests or any other isolated areas. Be careful near rivers, as they usually have strong currents. Don’t go around with strangers, or people who were not introduced by FFN or the host family. Don’t carry around huge amounts of money.
4. Write down the contact information of the family you’ll be staying with (host father’s name, address and phone number) and share it with someone in your home country.
5. Avoid alcohol or drugs, as the host family might be culturally sensitive towards those things.
6. Don’t enter the host family’s praying room or the kitchen without permission.
7. Communicate; feel free to talk with your host family about any discomfort or problems you may have regarding your stay, room and food (tell your host family about your likes and dislikes, and let them know whether you’re vegetarian or not).
8. Don’t forget to tell your host family if you’re planning to eat out at least 2-3 hours before
9. Don’t leave lights o in your room. Resources are very scarce in Nepal.
10. Keep your room tidy and clean.
11. Ask permission to your host family before using bicycles, radios, soap, detergents, TV’s or books that may be in your room (repair or fix items you may accidentally break).
12. Keep your room locked every time you’re out or away from home.
13. Wash your own clothes and plates.
14. Don’t expect any western food when staying with your host family.
15. All modern means of communication are available in Nepal (internet, phone, etc.); prepaid mobile SIM cards are easily available, but in the countryside reception is not always great. Maximum number of volunteers 1 at a time

Active for climate protection and biodiversity – save the peatlands in the Hunsrück area!
You will actively contribute to protecting a special peatland called “Weyrichsbruch”. This area was drained more than 150 years ago for forestry use. Peatlands are a valuable and natural Co2 storage as well as an ecological habitat with a high and very specialized biodiversity. For these reasons, in the 1980s it was decided to revitalize a small part of the Weyrichsbruch. Now the regional authorities for nature protection want to revitalise a much bigger part and this is where you can help! Under the supervision of two experienced Park Rangers you will improve the water balance in this peatland in order to renature the bog, and help it to cope better with the consequences of climate change. Some of your tasks will be to undo the drainage of the area by blocking or filling ditches, or by building small wooden barriers. While working, you will be able to discover many rare species which have already returned. The park Rangers will be happy to explain to you the ecological background and the consequences of climate change and they will guide you to discover this special habitat and its species.
The Weyrichsbruch is bordering a well-known hiking trail. On that trail, it is possible to take a look inside the bog from a wooden plank path. In addition, various information boards have been placed around the area to convey the ecological background of the Weyrichsbruch and thus contribute to environmental education.
Attention: The work might be physically hard, the wheelbarrow becomes your daily companion and you will get wet and muddy for sure! Please bring hiking boots, rubber boots and suitable working clothes.
Luogo
The workcamp will take place in Kell am See, a village 30 km from Trier, not far from the border with Luxemburg. The landscape in this area is very beautiful! It is dominated by huge forests, steep hills, small brooks and ponds, rocks and marshes. Only small hamlets interrupt the nature, which makes it a perfect region for plenty of different species but also for hiking. You will really feel different here!
The area is well known for cycling, walking and other kinds of outdoor activities. There is a local holiday resort nearby the Education Centre, which offers more than 200 holiday bungalows next to a lake and locals love to come here for cycling (there is a 45 km cycling path on a former railway roadbed) or to spend a nice day outside. The region also offers plenty of historic sites (castles, museums….). In addition, you will have the opportunity to come in contact with local associations, e.g. the local voluntary fire brigade. Since there aren’t many public transportation means available around Kell am See, the number of excursions will be limited. However, you will have the chance to visit the city of Trier with its famous Roman sites, the cathedral and birth place of Karl-Marx
Alloggio
You will stay in the Educational Centre in Kell am See, which is an important place for youth work in the whole area around the city of Trier. This public and non-profit centre offers the opportunity for youth groups, associations and schools to spend some days or weeks here running a seminar or other projects.
You will stay in five wooden tepees for max. five persons each. Staying here, among pure nature and with the campfire in the middle of the tepees’ circle is a wonderful experience. You will sleep on mattresses inside the tepees. Close to the tepees, you will have access to your own kitchen including a dish-washer, to a living room and sanitary facilities, all inside the Educational Centre. In your free time you can use the different outdoor facilities of the centre like the campfire and the basketball, football and volleyball fields. Close to the centre, there is also a lake and hiking trails. Please be aware that the tepees have electricity but no heating, so it might be cold at night. The facilities in the centre (kitchen, living room and sanitary facilities) can be heated though.
Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The food will be bought with the camp budget and everybody will take turns for cooking, washing the dishes and cleaning. In order to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more sustainable dishes.
Requisiti e materiali
Please be aware that ticks can be an issue when you spend a lot of time outdoors in natural areas in Germany - like in this camp. In our General Infosheet you will find suggestions on how you can protect yourself against them. You are also welcome to check whether a vaccination against the tick-borne disease TBE makes sense and is possible in your home country.

Il campo si svolge nello splendido scenario dell’”Area Marina Protetta Penisola del Sinis – Isola di Mal di Ventre”, istituita nel 1997 a tutela di questo territorio costiero delicato quanto prezioso. Il comune di Cabras, gestore dell’Area Marina Protetta, da anni è impegnato in un importante percorso di conservazione della biodiversità e della tutela del mare, dedicando risorse allo sviluppo di un turismo sostenibile e responsabile, puntando quindi sull’uso rispettoso del mare e del territorio da una parte, e sulla valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale e archeologico dall’altra. Dal 2022 Legambiente, in collaborazione con l’AMP e il comune, realizza campi di volontariato durante l’estate, che hanno tra gli obiettivi la sensibilizzazione di abitanti e turisti a una fruizione corretta dell'ambiente marino e costiero, e il miglioramento dell’offerta di turismo sostenibile sull’isola.
Lavoro
Durante il campo primaverile, i volontari parteciperanno ai lavori di ammodernamento dell’ostello che ospiterà i campi estivi; saranno per lo più impegnati in opere di ritinteggiatura degli spazi interni ed esterni. Verranno svolti anche piccoli lavori di manutenzione del giardino dell'ostello, per rendere gli spazi di accoglienza ancora più piacevoli. In base alle condizioni climatiche, saranno previste anche uscite sulla spiaggia dove la vegetazione è costituita dalla tipica e importante macchia mediterranea fino nelle zone costiere e che in questo periodo è nella sua massima rigogliosità.
Luogo
A ovest di Cabras, la penisola del Sinis, si protende nel mare con una costa bassa e rocciosa, estendendosi nell’entroterra con un altopiano brullo e una bassa macchia mediterranea odorosa di rosmarino e di ginepro. Alla scogliera si alternano anche spiagge memorabili: a nord di capo Mannu le dune e le sabbie di Is Arenas sono coperte da una storica pineta, mentre a sud la costa si articola in cale di sabbia, promontori rocciosi e stagni. A sud delle suggestive scogliere di Su Tingiosu si trovano alcuni gioielli naturalistici, le spiagge di granuli quarzosi (del tutto simili a chicchi di riso) di Mari Ermi e Is Arutas. Alle spalle delle spiagge, di grande interesse naturalistico lo stagno di Cabras, e la laguna di Mistras, mentre di grandissima suggestione sono le rovine della città, prima nuragica poi fenicia e infine romana, di Tharros, situata proprio in riva al mare

Organizzatore
This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with the local group since 2019. This village has been welcoming Ohenro (pilgrims) who visit 88 temples in Shikoku since long time ago. The pilgrims walk through this village before visiting Kakurin-ji temple; the 20th temple out of 88 temples of the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage. However, there are problems which should be solved such as aging and depopulation of the community these days, and locals haven't been able to find solutions for those problems. On the other hand, since more and more people from overseas visit for the Shikoku Ohenro Pilgrimage locals are trying to find new ways for omotenashi (hospitality). Volunteers who have been working on the project have come up with ideas for the reuse of vacant and abandoned land. Local host Oi have finally decided that they can freely renovate and modify the vacant houses. Moreover, the site is in a good location, with mountains, a river and fields. It is up to the volunteers from now on to decide how to develop the project. The aim is for the volunteer members to clean up the abandoned houses and village landscape and transform it into a village that people will want to visit to take photos, as it used to be a village where people came and went since ancient times.
