FSL cooperates with several local environmental organizations to conduct camps focusing on a variety of short term projects which include environmental protection, re-forestation, tree planting etc. In addition we also work with different local NGOs to spread health and hygiene awareness among the tribal villages. The workcamp involves assisting various underprivileged schools by working together with the local schools in teaching basic English and Mathematics, Health and Hygiene, renovation work like building playgrounds. The work will vary a lot in the camps and will involve some physical work.

« I would recommend participating in a workcamp, especially with VAP, who ensured that I found a project to suit me and provided essential training for me in preparation for my trip. Being part of a workcamp really is a life-changing experience, oh, and it looks great on your CV! »
