Participants of our short-term projects range in age from 17 to 90 years. In each project usually are involved 15-20 people from 10 to 12 different countries, who gather together on a particular date, in a community in Mexico, each group has group leaders and trained local coordinators.
Participants stay in a school, a church, a private home, a community center, a youth hostel, etc.. The activities carried out are interesting and diverse, from restoring school buildings, realizing archeological activities reconstruction, reforestation of natural areas, protection of the environmen t, preservation of sea turtles, activities with children, restoration and preservation of historical monuments, organizing social and cultural events, etc..
