Détails du programme

is a NGO based in Riberalta, the heart of the Bolivian Amazon. We focus our work on sustainable community development and conservation actions.

Our volunteers have the opportunity to live and support our work at the Aquicuana Reserve and it's surroundings. This area of incredible biodiversity is located about 20 kilometers from the city of Riberalta in the Beni Department of the Bolivian Amazon. It is home to Lake San José, the plant-medicine retreat center Pisatahua, and two rural communities: San José and Warnes. Its name, Aquicuana, comes from the Tacana native language, meaning ‘land of the giant trees.’

There we promote initiatives to support education, scientific research, and community development.

All our volunteers stay at the research station on the reserve. We offer shared lakeside cabins, bathrooms, kitchen, office, and hangout/yoga space. Because all our spaces are shared, volunteers should be open to communal living, be accommodating of other's needs, and be willing to adapt to new routines. A weekend crash-pad is available in town for volunteers who wish to stay in the city overnight.

As a part of our programming, Sustainable Bolivia provides an afterschool program for the children of Warnes, a village located in the reserve. We mostly focus on teaching English, but also provide music, arts and crafts, sports, health, and science depending on the expertise of the volunteers assisting at the time. The afterschool programs is from 2-5 pm each day, with time slots being provided for differing age groups.

Activités et horaires

Volunteers should spend mornings lesson planning to prepare for the afternoon lessons. Most volunteers will not need to whole morning to prep, so freetime is available.

Règles

Volunteers need to be open to working in a multicultural, shared space. Alone time can be hard to come by during busy periods, so patience and flexibility are a must. Volunteers should be interested in spending time in the jungle, without quick access to nightlife, restaurants, markets, etc and in the presence of mosquitos and many other jungle critters.
