Ecological Building & Carpentry
This placement is for the creative, innovative and pioneer-spirited person who really loves the challenge of helping to coordinate and expand Aldeas de Paz activities on our grounds!
Ideal if you enjoy the outdoors and the beauty of the countryside
Assist with one of our most important projects: the expansion of our multi-faceted Community & Therapeutic Riding facilities for local children and young people with special needs. We are building an ecological school to help young kids gain an alternative education. This is a great opportunity to share your skills and make a sustainable difference to a community that really needs it. On the ecological building project you can also hone your Spanish skills as you work side by side with our local grounds-maintenance workers.
Volunteering…Volunteering is a wonderful thing that many people in the capitalist world find hard to understand. But for those of you who know that they can be a part of a noble cause which eventually makes a big difference in so many lives, and are willing to go that extra mile to do the job I’m glad I was a part of another volunteer mission to do what is meaningful.
