Volunteer Eco Students Abroad
Volunteer Eco Students Abroad (VESAbroad) is a for-profit company[1] founded in 2009 which has been established to give participants from around the globe the opportunity to visit a number of countries and to participate in a program consisting of some volunteer work and adventure tourism. The primary programs are generally of two weeks duration with opportunities to extend the trip with supplementary adventure tours.
Programs[edit]
Split into two week-long sections, the program sees participants volunteering in areas of need such the areas of education, construction and conservation in a range of multi-faceted projects.
During the second week, participants are accompanied on a tour of the country which comprises a number of adventurous and/or cultural activities. The programs are aimed at broadening the participant's awareness of what these countries lack but also what they have to offer.
Some projects undertaken by VESAbroad volunteers include:
- Refurbishing classrooms and water tanks at Vugalei District School in Naimasimasi, Fiji.[2]
- Teaching and promoting hygiene in Biasevu Village School on Viti Levu Island, Fiji.[3]
- Teaching English and providing maintenance for the Puka Urku village in Ecuador.[4]
- Conservation work on cheetah and crocodile farms near Saint Lucia, South Africa.[5]
- A planned trip to Ecuador in 2012 involved building and refurbishing a local school and building eco-friendly amenities for a local village.[6]
