Volunteer for Sonafluka Community Building Project in Costa Rica
July 8th, 2009The role of the Sonafluca Community Youth Group is to provide a medium by which the youth of the community can come together and take an active role in improving their community. They serve the Sonafluka Town and surrounding areas. Placement Work Details This placement needs volunteers because although the town has many plans to improve the its infrastructure and facilities, they lack the labour force. The Youth Group (“Jovenes Activos Sonafluca”) has stepped up to the challenge but needs lots of extra hands. As in most communities, there is always lots of work to be done to help the community by keeping in clean, and by building new structures. It is a rewarding experience as the volunteer can feel like a part of the community and see the progress they have made.
The volunteers can help by doing followig tasks: -refurbishing different buildings and facilities in the community -painting (signs, buildings, etc.) -clearing trails in the town’s ecological reserve, preserving the water reserve -construction (taking down rotten structures, or helping to build new ones) Other tasks that you may be requested to preform outside of your core duties: Helping kids to improve their level of English after class. Helping to fix the local church (painting, reinforcing existing structure)
