| 背景 |
The Slatinka Association was established in 1993 as a reaction to the construction of the Slatinka water dam on the Slatina River. The associations mission is to work at the basin of the Slatina River, to protect the environment and preserve natural areas while spreading consciousness of the projects effects on nature. One of their main aims is to bring life back to the village of Slatinka, since many people had to leave due to the dam construction. Workcamps like this one have been organized in Slatinka since 2011. |
| 仕事内容 |
The work will be done around and in the village of Slatinka. The volunteers will help with cleaning the area in Slatinka: cutting the grass, taking care of the trees, collecting herbs. Help will include restoring the wetland and cleaning wells. The working hours are from Monday to Friday divided as follows: 4 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. There are no special skills required. By participating to this project you contribute to protecting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems (UN SDG 15). |
| 宿泊 |
Volunteers will stay at a local school called the Eco Center. The center has an outdoor shower that requires participants to manually heat the water before each shower, and the toilets are dry (outhouses). There will not be access to running water, so water will be delivered or taken from a well pump for showers. Drinkable water will be provided by the local partner. On-site access to electricity and mobile signal is available. There are two bedrooms with mattresses, but a sleeping bag is required. Volunteers will be responsible for cleaning the accommodation site. Meals will be prepared by the volunteers themselves. Volunteers will be divided in the kitchen teams and will cook together; the groceries will be provided. The food will be mostly vegetarian. |

| 企画者・参加者の声 |
「モンゴル」に憧れて参加。期待を裏切らない大自然。野菜の収穫は楽しかったけど、建設と水やりは少し寂しかった…不慣れながらも大人数の食事を準備したこと、みんなで文句を言いながらもやかんでお湯を沸かしてシャワーを浴びたこと、寒い中で星を見たこと、ささいな瞬間全てが「非日常」だった（経験者談）。 |
