Description
Volunteer with people from all over the world. Interact with the local community. Learn construction skills. Have a tangible impact on a community open to support. No experience is required. Join us for as long as you want. Read more below...
On September 7, 2017, one of the most lethal earthquakes in Mexican history hit close to the southern state of Chiapas, with a devastating magnitude of 8.2. Just 12 days later and a few hundred miles away, a 7.1 magnitude quake rocked central Mexico and was declared the most deadly earthquake since 1985.
Our program is focused on rebuilding a learning facility within a rural community in Santa Necoxtla, which is in the state of Puebla ( about 4 hours from Mexico City ). We're working on a preschool and kindergarten that was damaged by the earthquakes and is still in need of repair and renovation to present a safe learning environment.
No construction experience is required. To make it easier for volunteers to join us, we provide accommodation and meals. Join us to make a difference and to help children return back to their classrooms!
(As we are working on a construction site, we do require volunteers to have work boots - either message us to ask if we have spare in your size, or they can be purchased locally.)
