You will be working with local youngsters aged 5-11 years old helping to coach alongside some passionate local coaches. In Liberia there is plenty of little league football that is played by youngsters of all abilities and backgrounds. You don't need to be an experienced coach but you need to be able to pass on your enthusiasm for the sport to the eager local students. You will find yourself to be a popular member of the community working on this project as well as giving local youngsters a real chance to develop their skills.
We take seriously our responsibilities towards the communities we work with in Costa Rica. We have full time local staff on the ground that will meet you from the airport, give you an induction on arrival and support you from our local office throughout your stay. They are local people who we pay a good local wage and can give you all the information and support you will need during your stay. They have been trained by us to work with visiting volunteers.
In Costa Rica you will be staying with a local family. We pay the family where you will be staying. This means that the money goes directly into the local economy. The food you eat, the chairs you sit on have all probably been made in the town where you will be staying. Living in Costa Rica will give you an opportunity to be a real part of the local community. Most of the money that you spend during your time at the placement will be at grassroots level going into local Costa Rican businesses. Our organisation is environmentally responsible. We recycle at our offices and offset our carbon emissions from staff flying to our destinations around the world. We believe that actions like this can be the first step towards preserving the planet for future generations.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
