Detalhes
Descrição
Our organisation is a family-based and small environmental NGO, we contribute to protect Andean mounts and wetlands, mainly (but not only) at Lake Tota - largest lake of our country, located at 3015m high. And we do this with an approach based on governance and tourism. We are based on the Eastern side of the Colombian Andes.
Options to volunteer with us are wide and flexible, something to discuss it further after contact. We expect a minimum stay of 1-month, and have an application form for the process.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Volunteers will benefit from us by experiencing a genuine, friendly and open-minded interchange, both cultural and working as a team. And being close to what we do will also bring a glimpse of experience on what an integrated work is about, what an integrated environmental challenge is about, all that by dealing with a variety of situations and people week after week.
Ajuda
Options to Workaway with us are numerous, they may include working on the ground (e.g. monitoring, education, technical stuff, building or maintenance), relating with local communities (e.g. conducting interviews, doing some research), office work (e.g. website design, editing, social media tasks), photography and filming, documenting activities (e.g. short documentaries, newsletters, posters), marketing, or even activities related with tourism (guiding, attending guests, ground work in a hostel). And it is open to more options, our work is multi-tasked and flexible.

Spanish language:
For some options it is not compulsory for candidates to have a basic spanish, unless the discussed activity requires it (to communicate with locals) - e.g. education, interviews, the remote place option, or some activities in tourism. In regards to language, please review our plus benefit we can offer to our volunteers.
Expectation:
We offer and also expect a genuine interchange of knowledge, energy, culture, commitment and wish to accomplish the objectives discussed. We also understand expectations and interests from workawayers to experience, travel and meet other cultures, and we are ready and happy to contribute on that. We are very enthusiastic to welcome those genuine proposals, to make our best effort for a positive and memorable workaway experience for all.
Our NGO:
We were founded in 2010 and are based in Boyacá, near to Lake Tota, our activities are very much related to this wetland and type of high-Andean ecosystem, although we carry on activities in other regions not far from our base. Our friends, colleagues and collaborators are a rainbow-type of network that include a good range that goes from local to international. With our previous volunteers we have enriched and expanded that network, in fact we have continuing relations and even activities with some of them, and look very much forward to increasing that friendship network with new candidates.
Organization size:
Our organization is small. We normally are 2-3 people, a small office in the city plus a rural spot by Lake Tota, and have been a team of up to 5-6 at some point. And what we do it's been mostly with volunteering help. Small except for the challenges we face which are enormous, and the regions in which we collaborate which are large enough.
Thank you:
We thank you all in advance for seeing our profile and considering to get involved in our purposes. What we do is nonprofit, and we struggle to be self-sustainable and be able to never stop in our commitment. Volunteering have played a fundamental role in it. Then we look forward to having your contact!Mais alguns detalhes

I worked for Felipe for 2 months– the work was truly challenging (in the best way, stimulating critical thinking), exciting and fun. I was mainly doing work around possibly declaring parts of/the whole of lake tota as a Ramsar site. I particularly enjoyed observing public participation… read more
