The Sexto Sol Center for Community Action contributes to the elimination of
poverty and the restoration of the damaged environment by promoting cooperative
enterprise, environmentally sound agriculture, appropriate technology and
conservation. We work in the Sierra Madre region of Chiapas, Mexico and with
repatriated refugee communities in Guatemala.
Come join the adventure of applying your hands, heart, and mind to the task of
creating economic justice, helping people to grow food sustainably, teaching
permaculture, reforesting a mountain, and more. People with permaculture
knowledge especially needed. We offer a limited number of internship
opportunites to people who are interested in developing themselves for future
careers in sustainable development through NGO work. Interns make a volunteer
commmitment for longer time. We provide training over this time and opporunities
in the field that help interns to gain an insight into NGO work.
There are several ways you can volunteer. Come pick coffee beans at Nuevo Bullaj
collective coffee farm. This community of repatriated refugees needs help to
harvest their coffee. It is their chance to sell this year to a socially
responsible coffee company. Help is urgently needed. Nuevo Bullaj is creating an
eco-lodge for eco-tourism and agro-tourism. We are looking for people with
relevant management experience to help them set up the kitchen and other aspects
of the hotel. You must have good spanish for this work. Come explore this region
to help us find the best trekking routes, places to climb, caves, or to check
out the rivers for possible kayaking. We need adventurers willing to go hunting
for the best places to see. |
