We aim to work together with a strong team
of international volunteers and local staff
to engage, uplift and empower the communities
we support through education, health care
initiatives and community building projects.
|
| |
Through
our volunteers, the local communities get
direct economic and sustainable benefits. |
|
|
We
aim to contribute in all ways possible for
wildlife and forest conservation activities
in the areas we operate. |
|
|
We
brief our volunteers with advice & information
about the local culture, traditions &
values thereby encouraging respect and understanding
for the community's social & cultural
values. |
|
|
We
ensure that our volunteers and staff interactions
with the local and indigenous communities
are in accordance with their traditions
and culture. |
|
|
We
ensure that our volunteers receive comprehensive
pre-project briefings and orientation before
they volunteer on-site. |
|
|
We
aim to monitor our impact on communities,
their ecosystems & local cultures. We
actively promote local traditions &
cultural activities. |
|
|
To
minimise the impact on the community's social
& cultural values and the environment,
the numbers of our volunteers are regulated. |
|
|
We
make sure that the natural environment of
the areas we work is not disturbed by our
presence and activities. |
|
|
We
aim to instill in our volunteers an understanding
and appreciation of the culture and environment
in which they travel and work by encouraging
activities that are socially, culturally
and environmentally conscientious. |
