Global Routes

The cornerstone of our student exchange programs is a two to three
week homestay in a remote rural village. Here you immerse yourself
in the daily life and ritual of your host community and work with
locals on projects chosen by community leaders. Those seeking overseas
voluntary work and volunteer opportunities abroad will discover
the difference one individual can make. Whether you find yourself
teaching English in Asia, building a community center in South
America or a school in Africa, one thing is certain: this overseas
voluntary work experience will change your life.

Peru
Parrot Project
Contact: Alan Lee at a.t.lee@mmu.ac.ukor
+44 (0) 7913760925
Parrots make excellent flagship species and they need your help!
Unfortunately throughout most of tropical America large macaws have
suffered major population declines. Given the threats that face
many macaw populations today, it is obvious that protecting large
tracts of habitat is vital to the survival of macaws and the thousands
of species that share their habitat. Some of the most important
areas to protect are clay licks. Up to 17 species congregate daily
to descend to the river and stream banks to eat clay. By assisting
the project you will be able to experience all the amazing sights
of the rainforest in a relatively comfortable environment as we
work out of tourist lodges (although in staff quarters).
Required
Training/Application: CV with 3 references
and a Letter of interest.
Proof of Immunization: Yes, Yellow Fever.
