WORKCAMPS IN PERU

In 2007 OIKOS organises in collaboration with Vive Mexico, a local non-profit organisation, several workcamps in Peru.

The fee of participation (including the annual membership-card of OIKOS) is 80,00 Euro and has to be paid when applying for a camp. 
The camp-fee (including board and lodging) is 210,00 Euro and has to be paid to the camp-coordinator on arrival in Peru.

GENERAL CONDITIONS ABOUT THE WORKCAMPS

 1.- Volunteers must be 18 or older.

2.- English is the official language inside the groups but due to the nature of some of the projects a basic knowledge of Spanish could be required.

3.- It would be very good if volunteers could come with a preparation for projects in  Latin American countries in order to reduce the cultural shock, but also all volunteers will have an orientation session the first day of each workcamp.

4.-  We ask the volunteers to stay during the whole duration of the project.

5.- The departure day for the group will be the last day of the workcamp.

6.- Volunteers will need to bring sleeping bag and air mattress.

9.- Volunteers are working 5 days a week between 4 and 6 hours a day. Generally on the week ends the group will visits different part of the region where they will be.

10- In all the projects the volunteers will be self managed with the help of the leaders. They will cook their food, clean their lodging and decide together what kind of food to buy, and how to use their budget for the leisure time.

11- Volunteers have to be open minded and flexible about Mexican culture and food.

SPANISH COURSE

OPTIONAL ACTIVITY FOR ALL THE VOLUNTEERS

Very important information for all the volunteers accepted in the VIVE Mexico Projects

Vive Mexico besides the workcamp it self; gives the opportunity to take part in an Intensive Course of Spanish for all the volunteers interested. 

This activity is organized 7 days before the starting date of each camp. The volunteers MUST GO to the city of Morelia to take part in it. After participating, the volunteer must travel to his/her project meeting point.

• Materials needed for the course (books of theory, books for exercises, etc.)

• Intensive Spanish classes given by a professional Spanish teacher in the city of Morelia.

This cost is very cheap compared with the traditional language courses in the private schools of Spanish in Mexico and the people giving the course are professional teachers of Spanish, the classes are 3 hours a day during 5 days and the participants have a lot of home work to do. 

There will be a free day generally on Sunday, to give the chance to the participants to visit the nearby towns and interesting places and to know better each other.

The volunteers have to indicate in the confirmation slip if they will participate in these activities and in which dates.

This course was a really good success in the year 2003, 2004 and 2005 we strongly recommend to your volunteers to take part in it. If they don t speak a good Spanish, it will help them to enjoy even more their workcamps. It is also the opportunity to spend one week in the beautiful city of Ayacucho in a relaxing atmosphere.
