Program Description

Volunteer in Paraguay!

Description

Volunteers will work with the Ministry of Health to build about 20 latrines in each community and facilitate educational activities on latrine maintenance with families. Volunteers will also work with other community groups to plan and implement smaller Community-Based Initiatives (CBI) that may include planting trees, community cleanup efforts and school murals. Additionally, Volunteers will run day camps for children during the two week Paraguayan winter break, which includes extracurricular activities on health and environment. When school is in session, Volunteers will work with community youth to facilitate educational activities several times a week for children between the ages of 5-12.
