The Revival Program offers a unique experience far from the stereotypical images of Latin America.  The simple possibility of getting to know and living in the rural communities where Responde carries out its projects is a rich, incomparable experience when the time comes to work with and for the villagers.

We ask volunteers to bring their own activity or workshop proposal that they wish to develop in the village, and/or investigation subjects related to their studies; all ideas are welcome.  Volunteers must take into account that a rural community has its own routines and daily activities.  This means that they should not be discouraged if villagers are not always available to join the activities that volunteers propose.

We always advise that volunteers take some time to get to know the people and make connections. Once they establish this bond, volunteers will better understand the best methods for carrying out their projects.  We also advise volunteers to consider a mix of activities that do not exclusively require the active participation of the villagers.
.
We also invite volunteers to collaborate on the various programs and projects which, depending on the villages, are either in development or are being put into practice.  The Revival Program brings an invaluable support to these programs, and the contribution of every volunteer is highly valued.  The volunteers can expect a clear understanding of what their contribution has meant for the pursuit of Responde’s mission.

The following is a list of these programs and projects that coexist in the majority of the villages.
