In general, volunteers will help organize and develop different activities for the children (age: 5-17)
The work includes:
• Helping, planning and leading regular activities (English lessons, soccer training, art and recycling workshops).
• Sharing time and knowledge with children (play, chat, etc.) and being an example for them.
• The foundation is open to new ideas and activities. According to the volunteers' skills and interests there is space to lead different, new workshops for the children.
All knowledge and skills are welcome for the development of classes and/or workshops.
With your help we will create more opportunities and a better future for the children of the island.
The participant will stay at a hostel, located 5 min walk from the foundation. The volunteers will share 2 rooms with fan or AC and the bathroom (toilet and "bucket shower"). There is no water supply system, so you will use a bucket to wash hands, flush the toilet and take shower. It is clean, but not potable water.
The hostel will provide the 3 meals, simple Colombian dishes, rich in vegetables, fruits with potatoes/rice/pasta and protein. There is vegetarian option, too.
Bocachica (Tierra Bomba) is located just 20 minutes from Cartagena by boat. Tierra Bomba has become an important tourist destination, thanks to its white sand beaches and blue waters, in addition to the historical and natural riches it possesses and the numerous options it offers to visitors.
During free time, volunteers can go to the different beaches, visit the castle, snorkeling the reefs of the island as well as visiting Cartagena.
10 min walk from the foundation you find a fortress and a quiet beach. Also, there is a small shop nearby.
Cartagena is a city that is located on the shores of the Caribbean Sea. The city has several archipelagos and islands around that are truly a paradise, among these is Tierra Bomba Island.
Cartagena brings together the charm of colonial architecture, the excitement of a vivid nightlife, fascinating cultural festivals, and lush landscapes, to bring you a unique experience.
Be prepared for a warm/hot and humid weather, with strong sun that you will enjoy when visiting the different beaches during the freetime.
This camp will be carried out in cooperation with a non-profit organization that seeks to contribute to the reduction of poverty and social inequality on the Island Tierra Bomba, Cartagena
They work with communities that are in condition a of vulnerability, in order to improve the quality of life of families.
The foundation wants to extend the impact with the help of the volunteers and through new activities led by the workcamp groups.
