The work includes:

• Helping, planning, and carrying out regular activities (art, dance, music, English, and French workshops/lessons).
• Assisting in sports training (football).
• Helping with extracurricular events (beach cleanups, board games get-togethers, or community cinemas).
• Support university students in practice of languages, mainly English, in the “Café Bilingüe” on Fridays.
• Sharing time and knowledge with children (play, chat, etc.) and being an example for them.

You will stay in a cultural center and hostel for volunteers in Ciénaga that brings together local people and volunteers. On one hand the place offers freetime activities to the kids in its large room of the house, on the other hand it offers space for 8 tourists in total who can stay in two private rooms or in a dormitory.

You will stay in a 6-dorm room. The house has a self-service kitchen, dining room, working area, two terraces, balcony, two showers, bathrooms and a lot of shared spaces to relax or to get creative. The local foundation and hostel supports the community and local business and sells local products such as coffee, honey or handcraft art through a local shop.
The volunteer program includes 3 meals a day, the foundation is in charge of the shopping and volunteers cook together (vegetarian food option also available).

Please do not expect expensive/special ingredients (olive oil, nuts, etc), but the Colombian cuisine is rich in fruits, vegetables and 3x a week there will be meat in the menu.

There is laundry service at the hostel, 20.000 Colombian pesos (4euro) / 3kg.
