BRAZIL / Volunteer Latin America
This project is located within 140 hectares of virgin rainforest deep in the Amazon. Its objective is to protect the Amazon rainforest and its ecology, and develop practices of sustainable agriculture and a healthy way of living (renewable energies, permaculture, ecological sanitary facilities, etc). It stimulates artistic activities and contributes to the development of solutions for the humanitarian and ecological needs of the Amazon. This includes organizing lectures and workshops in art and music involving the local community. The project welcomes the assistance of volunteers who mainly get involved in ecological construction work, and agricultural/forestry activities (planting, harvesting, etc). Volunteers also help out with daily chores such as cooking and cleaning up. No special skills are required but volunteers should posses a little common sense and be prepared to live in an isolated and natural environment.
Volunteers receive free accommodation and share the cost of food (approximately £60 per month).
