Om programmet

We provide free English classes for children, teenagers and adults. Therefore, everybody can participate in our community. We believe that English lessons will provide a valuable opportunity to help local people gain the skills they need to communicate with tourists and also help the younger generations to have better life opportunities.

TEFL Certificate is not a requirement but, it is a plus. We are looking for volunteers that are fluent in English and also have creative teaching ideas such as playing games, singing, storytelling, acting other activities. The focus should be on developing curiosity about other cultures and to experience language as a communication tool and part of a culture.

Volunteers can also design workshops for kids or adults such as football matches, arts and crafts, environmental education, drama and so on. The idea is to connect the new language abilities with positive emotions.

Volunteers could build teaching materials such as posters, cards and games with vocabularies to subject or writing down songs, rhymes and so on for other volunteers.

Weekdays (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday): Usually, volunteers spend breakfast together and prepare class for the afternoon classes. Every Monday there is going to be a short staff meeting. Monday to Thursdays 3:30-6:30pm English lessons for children and afterwards adults. Occasionally during language classes workshops are held outside like going with a group of kids to pick trash or making art out of plastic. These workshops are also fun activities and different songs and games in English, German, or Spanish will be used to gain a feeling of connection. The evenings are free, usually volunteers gather and cook together, visit local restaurants, pubs, etc.

Weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday): Depending on the weather and the group of volunteers, we offer excursions to local sights such as waterfalls, swimming in the river, visiting natural reserve or a fruit plantation, camping and fishing.

On some weekends we are planning scout trips, which can be over night in tents or day trips. Depending on our destination the group will take transportation and then continue to hike or hike all the way to our base. There we will put up the tents, make a fire and explain to the kids the important rules. Volunteers can offer group games, singing songs, but also educational games such as observing different bird songs, collecting plants, using magnifying glasses and binoculars, sketching animals and so on. We close the day together at the campfire.

If there is a group of at least five volunteers who are interested, we can offer a trip to a native community. Transportation costs for this excursion and other expenses are not included in the package.

Tjenester af Semillas Life

We are a non-profit organization and as such we do not distribute any surplus income as profit or dividends. Nonetheless, just as a for-profit organization, we have costs for our operations which we need to cover in order to be able to exist. By being a non-profit, we can keep costs down and make our placements more accessible than other programs. We aim to keep our operational costs as low as possible by working efficiently, ensuring that we can make a real and positive impact in the present and are able to keep the organization moving forward into the future. One of our main sources of regular income are the financial contributions from our volunteer/interns for their placements, without these we would not be able to pay our staff or sustain our organization. Your financial contribution also directly funds our projects, so you are having a positive impact just by signing up.

Volunteers will get 5 different trips to the Amazon including a camping trip. Transportation expenses during the week of adventure package is included.

Volunteers will also participate in a chocolate making workshop.

Volunteers stay in one of our shared huts (cabins). Toilette and shower are located in our backyard. We will provide photos of the accommodation if required. Depending on availability, a bedroom can be shared by three volunteers, two volunteers or bedrooms can also be private for one volunteer. We provide a bed, mattress, bedsheets, blanket, pillow and mosquito net. We also provide hammocks for relaxing time as well as tents for camping trips.

Om projektet

Working for the economic and social development of the less privileged communities in the Peruvian Amazon.

Mød din vært

Who we are:

 

We are a growing project working for the economic and social development of the less privileged communities in the Peruvian Amazon.  Approximately 90% of the population in Puerto Inca lives without access to basic needs such as, running water, sewage and paved roads. However, Puerto Inca, has the potential to be a touristic province. We believe that creating an infrastructure for sustainable ecotourism can help to develop these communities. For this reason, we started this project in June 2018, putting a lot of our hearts and energy into it.

 

What we do? – Mission & Vision

 

We focus on education, environment, ecotourism and cultural exchange. We believe that working together with these communities in developing different skills for its people and creating new job opportunities, not only will help to reduce poverty but to reduce activities that are damaging the environment such as, logging and gold mining with strong contaminating chemicals.  We want to give opportunities to the community to change and care for their environment like having other ways to earn money instead of destroying the Amazon rainforest.

Protecting the Amazon should be a global commitment because of its incalculable biological and ecological value.

 

Where we work?

 

We are situated in Puerto Inca, Huanuco, Peru. Puerto Inca is the largest of eleven provinces of the Huánuco Region. It is a Province as well as a district. It is located in the central Amazon of Peru at an altitude of 330 meters above sea level. It is one of the most biodiverse places in the world. This province is also home of different indigenous communities such as, the ethnicities Ashaninka, Yanesha and Shipibo-Cacataibo. An Austrian-German Community can also be found in Puerto Inca.

Puerto Inca is a very peaceful place. Visitors can walk around the village at any time without any problem.

 

Goals:

 

One of our mid-term goals is to make a difference in the lives of disadvantaged children by creating a safe environment for healthy physical, social, and emotional development. We want to encourage a passion and respect for the natural world to help transition eager young minds into caring, socially-conscious global citizens. Through a connection with nature, we can nurture a better understanding of the environment whilst improving their interpersonal skills with one another and other adults.

 

Who are we looking for?

 

We are looking for motivated people who are not only eager to teach others but who are willing together with the students to look at different perspectives, finding solutions, trying new things and developing ideas in a team. Especially for “our Kids Explorer” and “Teaching English” programs we would like volunteers to independently run short workshops. Therefore we are looking for volunteers who have an interest in different topics such as arts and crafts, music and drama, environment protection, DIY and repair workshops, animals, plants or taking photos and making videos and enthusiastically pass on their personal passion.  All volunteers are role models for their home culture, their behavior and their way of problem solutions. We would like volunteers to keep this in mind and also to not judge other ways of thinking and acting, instead using open and critical discussions.

 

Why choose us?

By volunteering with us, you get a unique chance to experience the stunning natural diversity and experience the beautiful local culture beyond a busy tourist industry. At the same time, you will help us to achieve our goal in giving back to our local community. We co-operate with a range of local people. Therefore, all booking fees go either straight to people in our community such as, farmers, taxi and tuc tuc drivers, hostels, restaurants, groceries, boat and tour guides, artisans, etc.  You will also help to cover the expenses of our project.
