UNAREC - vive mexico

Vive Mexico is a non profit-making, non-governmental organization that has been organizing International Volunteer Service Projects since 1996.

Vive Mexico was officially born in March 1997 as a non-profit, non-governmental organization recognized by the Mexican laws and authorities as volunteer organization.

Our Philosophy consist of involving young people of different nationalities in projects focused in aid and cooperation with the objective to provide a space where the energy and creativity of them can be channeled in a background that promotes the brotherhood and solidarity between the nations of the world, and at the same time, help them to create a consciousness of the problems that are a human responsibility, by inviting them to take part in an activity to help our planet.

1. Promote a cultural exchange between young people of different nationalities and backgrounds.

3. Give to the young Mexicans the opportunity to participate in international workcamps around the world through our partner organizations.

4. Promote and develop voluntary service in Mexico as a mean of solving social, cultural and ecological problems in our country.

Workcamps, Medium Term Projects, Long Term Projects and the Special International Cooperations

2.- English is the official language inside the groups but due to the nature of some of the projects a basic knowledge of Spanish could be required.

3.- It would be very good if volunteers could come with a preparation for projects in Latin American countries in order to reduce the cultural shock, but also all volunteers will have an orientation session the first day of each workcamp.

7- Volunteers have to pay the Fee of the projects at their arrival on the projects

8- Volunteers are working 5 days a week between 4 and 6 hours a day. Generally on the week ends the group will visits different parts of the region where they will be.

9- In all the projects the volunteers will be self managed with the help of the leaders. They will cook their food, clean their lodging and decide together what kind of food to buy, and how to use their budget for the leisure time.

10- Volunteers have to be open minded and flexible about Mexican culture and food.

VIVE MEXICO does not count on any financial support from the Mexican government to run the workcamps. The only financial resources we count with are the extra fees of the participants, this year the extra fees are from 190 to 210 EUR0, which covers all the expenses of the volunteers during the duration of the project: Food; Hosting; Some Leisure activities; Non personal equipment.

The first project is starting in July 2008 and the last one will finish in March 2009.

As we said in our introduction letter we will give to your volunteers an orientation session the first day of all the workcamps, to facilitate their good integration in the projects and in the Mexican culture don’t hesitate to send us volunteers, it will be very difficult for us and disappointing for the communities to cancel the projects for a lack of volunteers.

There are a lot of new types of projects this year, but also most of the workcamps we had in the past will take place again this year.

Don’t forget that we are proposing intensive Spanish courses in Morelia before all the workcamps for the volunteers who want or need to learn Spanish basic knowledge; all the dates of this training courses are mentioned in the summary list, as well as in all the info sheets. Your volunteers have to mention in the info sheet reply slip if they want to take part in them or not. It is a really good course and we recommend it to your volunteers. Since we started our Spanish Courses before the workcamps in 2003 all the participants of were really happy, it was a great success.

In all the projects one to two leaders will be present. Generally we try to have a foreign leader with a national. Please look at our MTV program, and send us some nice volunteers interested to spend two months in Mexico leading projects. If you have any leader who wants to lead in

Mexico

for one or two months, please let us know.

This cost is very cheap compared with the traditional language courses in the private Spanish schools in Mexico and the people giving the course are professional teachers of Spanish, the classes are 3 hours a day during 5 days and the participants have a lot of home work to do.

There will be a free day generally on Sunday, to give the chance to the participants to visit the nearby towns and interesting places and to know better each other.

This course was a really good success since 2003, we strongly recommend to your volunteers to take part in it.
