mieszkamy w osadach Indian Warao, a miejsce noclegu to głównie ładny
zwykły kawałek ziemi tuż obok rzeki lub chata indiańska. Typowy Warao dom
z drewna pokryte liśćmi palmowymi.
W tych domach możemy zawiesić nasze hamaki. Jeżeli możemy znaleźć suche
drewno używamy je do gotowania, jeśli nie używamy naszych wielopaliwowych
palników.

Tydzień 9-12/16 -
Adventure lub Work Experience ( voluntary work)
Przykładowe formy wolontariatu:
Voluntary work
Please be aware that projects vary from time to time and therefore these
projects are examples and cannot be guaranteed.
During the work period you will be using your Spanish and living with the
locals. Most of the time you will be sent out in pairs and you can choose
two locations to work in, one month each place.
Don Bosco
In the nice and cultural city of Mérida, The Andes, a children's home is
located. Due to lack of means within the families or simply abandoning a
bigger group of boys between 6 and 18 years lives together with the help
from the foundation of Don Bosco.
Non of the boys are obligated to stay in the foundation but many choose
to receive the offer of food and a bed to sleep in, and therefore many of
them joins in around the afternoon and then takes off to the center of
the city again the next morning. You can participate in the daily
activities around the facilities as well as arranging/carrying out ideas
of your own, the kids love activities!
The institution itself gives classes in Basic English where children from
the area attend school here as well. If you would like to assist the
teacher in basic classes of English or math then this is absolutely an
opportunity!
This experience improves your language skills hence the fact that you
talk Spanish at the place. There are no requirements to the level of
Spanish you know, but for your own sake it makes the experience even
bigger if you understand short sentences on a basic level. Accommodation
is in a house/apartment in Mérida.
Fudena
Barely noticeable the Marine Research Center FUDENA is located in the
streets of Chichiviriche. The administrative department is located in
Caracas, and the actual research station for maritime biology settled
here, which gives us possibilities to join in!
FUDENA has several research centres around the country and the Director
Samuel moves around the whole country all year around. He himself lives
in Chichiriviche and therefore this is where he spends most time!
The research concerns all life forms from the ocean. You select,
characterize and number the different life forms are a part of the work.
The way you get to the subject is often by boat, snorkelling or diving,
as well as by feet around the coast. The lab contains many interesting
samples from all the past 12 years of this organizations time of being
and they have won international prices for some of their ideas. - Among
very enthusiastic people this is a great opportunity to view and learn
about the maritime life- ALSO without wanting to be a maritime biologist
as a future profession.
You will be accommodated in the camp or at Fudena however you wish.
Merida Zoo
This W.E. is more like a curse in how to work at a Zoo, meaning that you

learn what they eat, you learn to see signs of disease and how to treat
them if they are sick. How to feed snakes, spiders, lions, eagles,
monkeys, bears ect. While taking the actual curse you are among young
people that has already taken theirs and can therefore support you, it is
a good place to develop new skills within the language and meet lots of
interesting people. When finishing the curse you will receive a document
signed by the state of Marida which states that you have received this
curse, and therefore you are capable of working as an assistant to an
animal keeper. This will give you access to such kind of summer jobs and
