Costa Rica is rich in biodiversity and lush rainforests abound all over the country. The environment is however very fragile in Costa Rica and there aren’t enough trained manpower to teach locals the benefits of environmental conservation and monitor the environmental degradation. RCDP has teamed up local environmentalists and organizations and we’re trying to help Costa Rica preserve the forest.
Join our conservation project now and be part of this effort to save rainforests and other wonderful eco-systems. While volunteering, you can maintain trails in the forest, promote new eco-tourism related projects, or work in Carara National Park, where you can observe Red Macaws’ nesting and other abundant small mammals.
Volunteers with knowledge of basic Spanish is preferred for the environmental project. You should also be reliable, flexible, and patient as working condition and the mentality of the people will be very different from what you’re used to back home. You should also be of sound help as work can sometimes get physically demanding.
As a volunteer you will be helping to minimize the adverse effects of traditional tourism on the natural environment and enhance local culture and people. You’ll maintain and upgrade the facilities of the project, construct trails, help clean the areas and assist the tourist.
In Carara National Park, which is 2 hours away from San Jose, you’ll construct and clean the trials, be involved in guided tours, patrol and park, put up signs for the trails and do many other task.
RCDP will provide from your every need during the project. During the project, you will stay with either a host family or in a lodge. You will be provided with a separate room but you will have to share bathroom facilities. We have chosen our host family carefully and they will provide with a safe and secure location for you to stay. They will have experience of hosting foreign volunteers before and at least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English. Staying with a host family is a wonderful way to learn about the lifestyle and culture of Costa Rica. You will be served 3 locals meals by the host family. The meals will be prepared hygienically. Our staff will also visit you regularly to check your progress and see if you’re satisfied with the project or not. So you can rest assure that you will be completed looked after while you volunteer in orphanage work project in Costa Rica.
The mission of RCDP-Nepal is to encourage international volunteers to contribute in sustainable community development that benefits the underprivileged and extremely poor. By developing the places and the communities, the volunteers are also developing themselves and learning new perspectives and ideas that will ultimately change their lives.
