Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. It has the features of a modern, forward-looking society which are complemented by a close connection to beautiful nature. The population of the Reykjavik Capital Area is about 200,000. Reykjavik is spread across a peninsula with a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean on almost all sides. In this time of the year when conditions are favorable you can see the Northern lights (Aurora borealis) glowing curtain of greenish yellow lights, dancing in the distance to a spectacular, multi-colored fusion stretching across the sky. The world�s northernmost capital is framed by the majestic Mt. Esja, which keeps a watchful eye on the city, and the blue waters of Faxafloi Bay. On a sunny day, the mystical Snaefellsjokull glacier appears crystal-like on the western horizon, while mountainous moonscapes spread to the southeast. The international volunteers will visit kindergartens in Reykjavik and introduce different cultures to the kids. One of the tasks of this workcamp is to prepare games, songs and materials for those visits and we kindly ask the participants to bring materials that we can use for the preparation. We will also participate in different types of activites in the centre of Reykjavik; this time of the year the city is usually full of life.

<![CDATA[ <a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-mexico.htm" rel="nofollow"> <h2>Protecting the Marine Turtles at Colola</big></h2></a> <table><tr><td><a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-mexico.htm" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://www.cadip.org/camps/turtle2.jpg"> </a></td><td> <dl><dd> August 4 - August 20, 2010 August 25 - September 10, 2010 September 15 - October 1, 2010 October 6 - October 22, 2010 October 27 - November 12, 2010 November 17 - December 3, 2010 December 15 - December 31, 2010 January 12 - January 28, 2011 February 2 - February 18, 2011 February 23 - March 11, 2011 </td></table> International volunteers will participate in a program to protect the marine turtles, working in tight collaboration with the local population of the beautiful virgin Colola beach on the Pacific coast of Mexico. The project aims to ensure the reproduction of the turtles and preservation of the species for the future. There are two species of turtles arriving to this area: the Negra (Black Turtle) and the Golfina (Olive Riddle Turtle). The people involved in the project will help by collecting eggs, burying them in the turtle camp, taking care of the baby turtles and collecting some statistical data. Groups of international volunteers will be involved in the project as staff members, which means that they will be very involved in the project and the work. The goal of this project is to protect the turtles and to help run preservation activities focused on protecting endangered species, at the same time promoting international cooperation and international solidarity. The main work consists in collecting turtle eggs, burying them again in a secure place, and getting the baby turtles back safely to the sea. This must be carried out at night since the turtles do not go out of the ocean during the day (because of their natural predators, it is safer for the turtles get out of the ocean in the dark). In collaboration with local indigenous people from Colola, the volunteers will seek for the turtles and take care of the eggs and the baby turtles. Locals are very friendly and working with them is very pleasant as they explain to the group what to do. We need very motivated volunteers who really want to get involved in the work for protection of the turtles and are willing to interact with the local people and their culture. There are also some extra activities to be done with the local people in order to help improve the town such as setting names to the streets or helping to arrange a multi-purpose playground for the children, and maybe some cleaning tasks, but this depends on the volunteers' initiative. The local people are very open to participate in other activities and the volunteers can also propose their own initiatives, so your ideas are welcome. Language: The official language of the project is English. Some Spanish would be appreciated. Location: Colola is a small town located on the Michoacan State coast, between Maruata and La Placita towns. It's a remote place that offers an excellent opportunity to be close to nature, on a virgin beach, with no tourism around. The closest city is Tecoman at 200 kilometers, but other villages such as La Placita that are closer (45 minutes by bus) can offer Internet connection.

<![CDATA[<table><tr><td> <a href="http://cadip.org/volunteer-in-thailand.htm" rel="nofollow"> PRESERVING THE CULTURE OF THE HILL TRIBES IN NORTHERN THAILAND </a> <dl><dd> January 11 - January 24, 2010 February 8 - February 21, 2010 March 8 - March 21, 2010 April 12 - April 25, 2010 May 10 - May 23, 2010 </dd></dl> Volunteer project: The Akhas are part of the Golden Triangle hill-tribe cultures. Like in the neighbouring countries where they also live, they face in Thailand strong difficulties to be recognised and to value their particularities. The AFECT organisation contributes since 1981 to the defense of their rights, youth empowerment, elders support and cultural preservation and study. The volunteers will learn about their culture and problematic situation and contribute to AFECT projects and the daily life of the Akha villages. The main objective of the project is cultural exchange between the volunteers and the local villagers but the participants of the project will also practically work in the communities doing different kinds of support and development works, like renovation of some community spaces or field works and farming with the villagers. The exact nature of the work will depend on the needs of the village at the time of the project. Study theme: The volunteers will learn about the AFECT campaigns and discover the Akha culture, lifestyle, particularities and problematic situation in Thailand from the inside and from Akha people themselves. An introduction to Akha and Thai language is foreseen. Special requirements: No special profile is required. Nature lovers, ethnology fans and human rights activists will be particularly interested in this project. Adaptability is required from the participants. Age range: 18 and over Project language: English Leisure time: The free time will be organised according to the weather and the actuality of the communities but in general it will be essentially spent in the community. The volunteers will have the chance to learn about Akha cuisine, massage and specific handicraft. They might have the opportunity to attend traditional Akha ceremonies and events (like the principal Harvest celebration in March). If the weather permits it, trekking in the hills can also be foreseen. New years Eve, according to the Thai Buddhist calendar takes place in April. The volunteers in the April group will have the great chance to attend the ceremonies and festivities in the village with the local population. Accommodation: The volunteers will be hosted by the villagers in the communities where they will work. The conditions will be the same as for the Akhas themselves: very basic compared to urban Thailand, but very authentic. Do not expect occidental luxuries in any case. Location: The project will be held in the Chiang Rai region (North-west Thailand) and the surrounding mountains all the way to the Golden Triangle borders, maybe one of the most beautiful locations in Thailand! The influence of the hill tribes and nearby Burma, Laos and China shapes the culture here. </td><td> <a href="http://cadip.org/volunteer-in-thailand.htm" rel="nofollow"> <img src="http://www.cadip.org/camps/ChiengRai1.jpg"> </a> </td><tr><td> For more details and enrollment, please visit: <a href="http://cadip.org/volunteer-in-thailand.htm" rel="nofollow"> www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-thailand.htm</a> or give us a call: <blockquote> <img src="http://www.cadip.org/images/us.gif"> 617-502-0400</blockquote> <blockquote> <img src="http://www.cadip.org/images/ca.gif"> 604-628-7400 </blockquote> For volunteer opportunities in other countries: <a href="http://cadip.org" rel="nofollow"> www.cadip.org <img src="http://www.cadip.org/camps/Volunteer-in-Thailand-19.jpg"> <img src="http://www.cadip.org/camps/Volunteer-in-Thailand-23.jpg"></a> ]]>

Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. Reykjavik offers both the features of a modern and innovative society and the marvelous traits of a unique natural landscape. The population of the Capital Area is about 200,000. It is spread across a peninsula offering a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean from nearly every part of the city. In the summer, you can sit by the harbor at midnight and watch the sun dip slightly below the horizon before it makes its way up again. All around the world photographers are participating in photo marathons. A photo marathon is a competition, where the photographers are given certain topics to interpret within a time limit. This is a socio-cultural event that aims to promote the art of photography and bring together people with all kind of background and knowledge in that field. Any one with an interest in photography can take part - beginners and experienced photographers. The international volunteer team will help organizing this event. Following the photo Marathon, an exhibition will be opened with the most interesting photos. We will help with the preparation of the Photo Marathon, hand out brochures and posters and help with the promotion of the activities. We will than help the participants during the Marathon and afterwards prepare the photo exhibition. A short course in photography will be offered to the volunteers, where they will have the opportunity to improve their skills to capture their memories in an unforgettable way. We will learn how to think about landscape photography from capture to finished image, your ability to create dramatic compositions will become more effortless and you'll learn about what might be holding you back from reaching your full potential as a photographer.

Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. Reykjavik offers both the features of a modern and innovative society and the marvelous traits of a pristine and unique landscape. The population of the Reykjavik Area is about 200,000. Reykjavik is spread across a peninsula offering a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean from nearly every part of the city. The world�s northernmost capital is framed by the majestic Mt. Esja, which keeps a watchful eye on the city, and the blue waters of Faxafloi Bay. On a sunny day, the mystical Snaefellsjokull glacier towers over the western horizon, while mountainous moonscapes spread to the southeast. The volunteer work during this project will mostly consist in embellishing the downtown area and helping the local authorities improve the city�s look and atmosphere. Tasks will include cleaning tags and painting old houses. We will be mostly working outdoors giving a hand to the environmental department in taking care of the parks and green areas in the heart of Reykjav�k. In addition to that, we might also clean the coastline in the city area.

What we are looking for is an energetic person to help us with the tournament. There are a few ways we could use you. 1. We need a person who can man the registration table or 2. Someone with an athletic background and knowledge of basketball to act as timekeeper/scorekeeper 3. A person to man the concessions, and by concessions what I mean is we are selling donated bottled water to help raise funds, selling raffle tickets for a Nintendo Wii, Gym memberships and various restaurant gift certificates. We already had a few students volunteer their time but they changed their mind and backed out during the cold weather period that just past us. The forcast for this weekend is Mid to High 50's and sunny so the weather is a non issue at this point, and we have another group from Durham who will be helping but most can not stay for the entirety of the event due to prior commitments which is understandable. This will be a fun event, DJ'd by Rockstar Entertainment. And weather you do or do not like sports this will be a great High-Energy event benefiting a great cause.
