Descripción de la asociación acogida:

Descripción de la asociación acogida: Agrupación I.D.E.A.S. (Integración Democrática Estudiantil Abocada al Servicio) surge en el año 2008 de la inquietud de un grupo de alumnos del I.S.P. Nº 4 (Instituto Superior del Profesorado Nº 4) de la Ciudad de Reconquista sobre la problemática estudiantil del mismo, que deciden juntarse para pelear el Centro de Estudiante y de esa forma contribuir a una mejor calidad educativa para todos.Pasado ya dos años de su nacimiento, deciden extender sus fronteras hacia toda la localidad, considerando que la base de la educación comienza en la familia. Por este motivo, venimos trabajando en los barrios (Barrios Itati, Santa Rosa y Don Pepito) y consideramos este proyecto como una buena oportunidad de interactuar el intercambio cultural con el trabajo social voluntario.El trabajo que se viene realizando es, todo tipo de talleres con los niños, matematicas, biología, porcelana fría, música, teatro, manualidades, ingles, alemán. También tenemos a nuestro cargo una copa de leche que le ofrecemos a los niños los días sabados por la tarde, donde también realizamos actividades deportivas con dichos niños.Descripción del trabajo del voluntario y de las necesidades de la Agrupación:

• El voluntario tendrá que estar preparado para trabajar de manera independiente y con niños, jóvenes y adultos que tienen problemas sociales y viven en zonas de bajos recursos.

• El voluntario deberá tener la habilidad de conectarse con jóvenes y adultos por medio de juegos y actividades educativas y tendrá que estar en contacto con sus familias.

• El voluntario necesita tener carisma, involucrarse, compartir conocimiento y estar dispuesto a trabajar con la Agrupación.

Ningún barrio de la comunidad cuenta con una estadística real sobre las problemáticas en los distintos enfoques, Educación (deserción

30

escolar, analfabetismo), Salud (desnutrición, vacunación, discapacidad, etc) y perfil Socio-Económico del barrio.La idea es, extraer información sobre los problemas que surgen de las encuestas a realizar, e ir buscando una posible solución contando con la ayuda de la comunidad, el grupo y los voluntarios. La tarea de los voluntarios estará abocada en una primera instancia a recorrer en barrio en conjunto con la agrupación, conocer la realidad del lugar e ir haciendo un seguimiento del mismo a través de encuestas, entrevistas y otros tipos de actividades que sirvan para extraer datos de la comunidad.Como segunda medida y ya teniendo conocimiento de las distintas problemáticas, su tarea será colaborar en la formación de estadísticas reales que surjan de las actividades de la primera instancia. Así como la participación en charlas, campañas de prevención y otras posibles líneas de acción a llevar a cabo en el barrio. A su vez formará parte de un área de educación, en la que pueda enseñar idiomas.

Horas de trabajo Por lo menos 4-5 horas por día y a veces durante los fines de semana y en ocasiones especiales.

36

LTV O1 C – Ethnic Tribes TeachingThere are several ethnic minorities in India. NGOs are working towards community development to prepare them to participate and compete within mainstream society. The primary focus of NGOs is to help the tribal communities cope with issues they are facing - such as education problems, lack of adequate medical care and isolation. Working in this field requires a high grade of flexibility, and volunteers must try get involved directly with these people and with the staff of the local project.Most projects in this field are located in rural and remote areas, near to or within the tribal communities. You will be working with tribal communities and so you should be prepared for very basic living conditions. There will also be a strong language barrier which will be a challenge for any one working in this field.A prior experience or a good knowledge of these kinds of situations is appreciated.Most of the development work carried out by NGOs working towards community development projects is based on education and awareness. Therefore the volunteers will be required to teach in most of the projects where they work with tribal children. So an interest in teaching and a love for children is important. However, you could also be supporting the staff in the daily running of the orphanage, when the children go to their normal school.A creative approach to work is useful and you will have the opportunity to initiate new mini projects or activities. You will need to take a flexible approach to the work and you should be prepared to undertake a variety of tasks. If you have many ideas of teaching different kinds of activities such as games, songs, arts andcrafts or sports and athletics to children, then this type of project is for you!

LTV O1 D – Street Children TeachingMany NGO’s and local initiatives in India work for the welfare of street children or “working children”, andFSL-India is one of them. The aim is to take these children away from the streets and from their workingplace in order to give them a chance to live a decent and balanced life. By placing them in centres,boarding schools and or day-care shelters, the children return to the regular schooling system and/or to trainthem in vocational activities to give them skills that will help them to find a decent job and keep them away from exploitation.Much of the development work in street children projects is based on education known also as alternative education. Therefore the

37

volunteers will be required to teach in most of the projects where they work with street children. So an interest in teaching and a love for children is essential in this project, like all teaching projects. Other work activities will involve supporting the staff in the daily running of the schools.A creative approach to work will be useful and you will have the opportunity to initiate new mini projects or activities. You will need to take a flexible approach to the work and you should be prepared to undertake a variety of tasks.In some cases the volunteer will be required to go amidst the “tent” community to raise awareness of the teaching program, gain interest and collect children.If you have many ideas in teaching different kinds of activities such as games, songs, arts and crafts or sports and athletics to children, then this type of project is for you!Note: These projects are running all year long___________________________________LTV O2 – ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTSLTV O2 A – Sea Turtle ConservationFor the last 15 years, the Sea Turtle population has been under threat from fishing and egg predation by locals. Three species of the protected Sea turtle are nesting on India’s West coast and all of them are endangered species. As part of this project, FSL-India is working along a 60 kilometre stretch of beach in the south and northof Kundapur, Karnataka. The work is focused on sea turtle protection and conservation. The work involves surveys, data gathering and analysis, awareness raising amongst the local community and within schools, harbours and fishing communities. You will also be required to build hatcheries and temporary information centres, as well as design and create promotional material. Please note: This project is seasonal and starts in August and runs until February, only for six months. The work requires high motivation and some knowledge in this particular field is useful. Please remember in the first month and the last month the majority of the work ispreparation and report making. There is NO guarantee you will see sea turtles, hatchlings or eggs whilst working on this project.

LTV O2 B – Environmental EducationThis project has been set up by FSL-India in association with local NGOs. The aim is to educate lower economic and social groups, the local community, youth and children about environmental concerns, good practices and present situations. This project is usually run in rural areas where there has not been much development.

As a volunteer in this project, you have to develop and support

38

creative education in nature conservation and to educate the local community on the economic and social benefits of environmental protection and nature conservation. You will be visiting schools, colleges, and youth groups and organizing environmental educational workshops. There is also a chance to work with the local community where our volunteers, together with field assistants, try and create model streets. The local community is introduced to Solid waste management, the building of compost pits and the separation of biodegradable material. There is a lot of scope for interested volunteers who have prior experience to bring in their ideas and develop them within the project.*Please note minimum application for Environmental Education is for four monthsLTV O2 C – Eco TourismEcotourism involves two major themes: Nature and Culture. Ecotourism is a form of responsible travel which contributes to the protection of the environment in natural areas, and the preservation of culture in local communities. It also provides conscious travellers with unique experiences which cannot be provided by mass tourism.This is a new project initiated by FSL, which means there is still a lot to be done!The volunteers will start by getting to know the village, neighbourhood and villagers in order to work together with them and see the different aspects of their lives. Educating the locals about the problems and exploring possibilities with Eco-tourism is an important aspect of the work.Volunteers have to develop a working methodology that taps into local resourcesVolunteers willdevelop a way of working, drawing local potential, introducing and setting up structures, suchas:ó Creating a database of information of the surrounding areasó Training and working with the local community in order to involve them in activeparticipation.ó Raising environmental and cultural preservation awarenessó Setting up and running the Eco Tourism projectó Making a web site and promoting Eco tourism as a form of livelihood for the local community.The main fields of work are: art, traditional life, sights, environmental awareness, food,agriculture, industry, medicine, landscape, outdoor activities, religion, and spiritualexperience. Each of those fields is divided into more sub fields. You will be working in a small

39

team or individually to complete the database. The work will include site-based research –hence the ability to research and write reports is appreciated.*Please note minimum application is for four months.LTV O2 D – Eco-ClubsEco-clubs is a governmental initiative which was introduced 5 years ago in government schools. As part of this initiative, Eco-clubs were formed in schools and the members are comprised of school children. The aim of Eco-clubs is to introduce environmental concerns and good practices to the school children, in order to make them actively involved and to be aware of the necessity to protect nature. However most government schools lack personnel and financial means to run the Eco-clubs efficiently. As a result, Eco-clubs have been formed in most schools but they do not function.Hence, the FSL-Eco-Clubs projects were initiated with the objective of supporting schools, the children and the teachers. Since August 2008, volunteers have run a 5-sessions programme in different schools in the surrounding areas of Kundapur for the children in the 8th standard. These sessions combine theoretical and practical learning methods. The children who havebeen trained this year, will train the next batch of children to run the Eco clubs. At the moment we have a potential of about 200 children ready to pursue our work.As a volunteer your task will be to design and run the sessions in the schools, with the help of other volunteers, a field assistant and teachers. You'll need to be creative and have a love forchildren, as they are the main concern of the project. You will also get the chance to work with the local community in order to organize some out door events for the children.LTV O2 E – Rain Water HarvestingLTV O2 F – Sanitation programme__________________________________LTV 03 – SOCIAL PROJECTSLTV O2 A – Physically Handicapped andMentally Challenged Children’s ProjectThese children are rejected by mainstream society and so volunteers are needed to participate and bring joy in the lives of these children, and help the NGO to bring some structure in their daily lives and prepare them for adulthood.Working with disabled people can be quite a challenging task for anyone. However, the spirit of these people can bring a lot of joy and a lot can be learnt. The main work will be teaching and supporting the staff in their daily activities for the care of physically and/or mentally disabled children. In the home or project it is essential that the volunteer is part of the group ; help has to be done wherever

40

necessary and so you should be flexible and open to all kinds of work and activities.Additional work activities involve maintenance and gardening work, preparing meals, serving them, cleaning and giving company.A creative approach to work is useful and you will have the opportunity to initiate new mini projects or activities. You will need to take a flexible approach to the work and you should beprepared to undertake a variety of tasks.LTV O3 B – Rehabilitation ProjectsThere are many NGO’s working for social inclusion projects where minorities or less fortunatepeople have been left behind in the race for economic and social reform. FSL India tries to motivate/support them by placing interested volunteers to help them in their office, field workor to bring new creative ideas to their work. The work varies from project to project. So, in the application the volunteers must write clearly why they want such a project and also howthey can contribute to the project.Following are examples of the different kinds of projects:− projects where working children are given vocational training ;− projects where young people are given training in various trades ;− projects where Micro-finances are given to a minority community and we help them tobecome economically stable.− projects where computer education is given.− projects with disabled children and/or adults, in order to give them more autonomyand to eventually reintegrate them in mainstream society.Volunteers can help in many ways; for example there were instances when volunteers havetaken photographs of local projects and helped them build a web page. Then volunteers in avocational training centre helped the project to make a catalogue of all their products.Volunteers have helped projects by implementing a good filing system and helping in surveydata collection. Here creativity plays a major role, and prior experience can help the projectas well as the volunteer. FSL India also helps less fortunate youth from slums or low economic backgrounds by giving them training in camp leading or office work. For example, slum boys will be recruited and given training in camp leading. After training they will work as camp leaders for a year. Then they go back to their slum and organize

41

work camps for the next year so as to bring in development to their community.LTV O2 C – Old Age HomeFSL-India helps many projects by sending volunteers to old age homes where the elderly are neglected and forgotten by the mainstream society.Working at an Old Aged home can be quite a challenge.

Empowering women and educating them on their constitutional rights, and the law, works towards the achievement of social and economical security of women.Since most of the women you are going to work with come from an underprivileged background, they speak very little or no English. Be ready to find creative and alternative ways of communication. Please note the work mainly involves working in the office with the NGO as well as field work.LTV O2 E – Slum DevelopmentIndian cities suffer from huge urbanization problems and slums are present and growing in many places. These areas of the cities are clusters of houses and shacks built illegally, whereall basic infrastructures are absent. Water and electricity supply are scarce or non existent, hygiene is low and outbreaks of diseases are common. The rate of unemployment is very high.The aim of many NGOs working in the slums is to improve the basic living conditions of the large number of people living in these slums. The volunteers will have the opportunity to joinhands with the local NGO to support ongoing projects such as awareness campaigns, literacy programs, educational projects and empowerment of minorities.A prior experience and/or a good knowledge of the situation are appreciated. Working andliving conditions can be hard.____________________________________LTV O4 – MEDICAL AND HEALTHLTV O4 A – HIV and AIDS Awareness and Care of Support

Project: Kao KorFECHAS: Todo el año.

Kao Kor es un pueblo budista localizado en el Distrito de Promkiri, en la provincia de Nakorn Sri Tammarat, al Sur de Tailandia. La población de este pueblo es de 1,800 personas, El 90% de ellas se dedican pricipalmente a la siembra de caucho, mientras que el resto son dueños de huertas y algunos son trabajadores temporales. El nombre del pueblo es derivado de la abundancia en fuentes de bambus, que había en el pasado. Puede traducirse como “camina un paso más, un bosque de bambu está por delante”.

Así que desde entonces empezó a ser conocido como el pueblo de Kao Kor. Kao Kor ha sido una comunidad sobresaliente y ha sido un pueblo modelo, siguiendo una de las campañas lanzadas por el gobierno Tai, conocida como “Campaña de Comunidades Solidarias y Anti-drogas”. En 2004, el pueblo de Kao Kor ganó el Premio Green World (verde mundial), el cual fue un orgullo y una motivación para los lugareños. Ser dirigido por un líder convencido, dedicado y respetado, ha hecho que los pobladores se unan y dediquen a actividades en su pueblo, como la conservación ambiental, la creación de un grupo de investigación de orquídeas y plantas de viveros. Ellos incluso tienen su propio sistema de justicia. Por ejemplo, si a uno de los miembros se le acusa por un acto de maldad, los habitantes decidirán sus cargos, de acuerdo a un sistema penal acordado por la comunidad-vigilante.

Project: Korea Horseman High School takes pride in being known as the first choice among students who seek to begin their careers as horse trainers and managers. It is a public high school designed for in depth instruction and exercises about managing and training racing horses. The students in this school build their horsemanship skills and eventually seek to be employed in horse managing fields.

The school was originally founded as a livestock farming school. However as the appreciation for farming and livestock have decreased among young people, the school transformed its curriculum to train young horsemen. In the past few years, the school has earned more recognition, but still lacks in its international programs and interactions. The school is looking forward to develop its international interaction through this MTV project. Volunteers of this project will be the ones who will make a leap toward a new change of the school.

Work: Since the school is located in an area where it has limitation in meeting various international people, the project is mainly aimed to provide the students more chance to meet and experience other cultures through international volunteers. We hope that the students will develop global thinking through this project. Volunteers, on the other hand, will have the benefit of getting to know with Korean culture and especially horsemanship skills.

Volunteers will mainly lead English or Japanese classes (Non-formal), intercultural classes such as country introduction and language classes. There are about 15-20 students in one class. Having skills such as dancing, singing, acting, teaching languages (preferably English and Japanese) and other educational purposes can be very helpful. Volunteers will also have opportunity to join in other school activities or class field trips.

Specialty of this programVolunteers of this project will have three months free course of horseback riding. The school teachers there will kindly guide and instruct the volunteers with horsemanship skills.

The activitiesThe hosted volunteers are welcomed in the heart of our structure and will participate in two sectors whichare part of our activities: workcamps and local animation.1. WorkcampParticipating in workcamps will be the main activity of the volunteers. This includes renewing andreconstructing the place : an old farm and its buildings, which is called “La Mayounelle”, in order to create acentre of reception and intercultural meeting, as well as the restoration of the small buildings in thesurrounding municipalities. The work is undertaken in a team, and managed under the responsibility of aqualified leader.The association endeavours to transmit the traditional manual know-how, which is the link betweenthe generations. The methods of construction and restoration are realised within the objective of using localmaterials and the traditional techniques (dry stones, cherts etc.). The environmental quality is anotherimportant aspect of the project, which the association CITRUS wishes to promote by choosing ecologicalelements. An example would be the landscaping and the maintenance of green places or a kitchen gardenare part of the activities program. It can also mean the installation of tools to reduce energy consumption(solar showers, baker's oven, etc.) or to use ecological materials for construction.Long term volunteers may become pedagogical leaders of workcamps during the summer in other

92

villages of the region, under the support of the team of employees.

Local animationThe volunteers will participate regularly in activities of local animation, in cultural events or inactivities with educational character in partnership with the municipalities, institutions and the localassociations. The association supports for example the local schools to set up workshops regarding theenvironment, within the framework of the project of the collective garden.

Intercultural dimensionThe aim of our work is to build a social Europe in terms of peace, respect and tolerance. Thereforewe encourage meetings and exchanges of others who have different social, cultural, and geographicalbackgrounds. Volunteers might be asked to work with people with fewer opportunities, within the role ofproviding an international and cultural exchange. For example adults who are in situations of reintegrationmay be present on the workcamps. The meeting and the achievement of a common work, with theinvolvement of both, international volunteers as well as disadvantaged or less mobile persons, is anexcellent way to achieve this aim.Our fields of action relate to cultural, social and environmental issues and for which we encourage

93

citizen participation.

Volunteers will be encouraged to imagine and organise actions which involve the localenvironment - depending on their interests and how they want to contribute to the project. Examples forpossible actions are the organisation of debate evenings, an art exhibition, the construction of a solar oven,offering dance workshops, etc.The volunteers will be monitored by a tutor, responsible for welcoming volunteers, whose role is tofacilitate their integration, promote adoption of their own project, and assist them in achieving personalproject(s).
