Title
Campus California TG-Volunteer in Africa and Central America-International Volunteer work abroad
Description
Campus California TG is a private non-profit organization located in the small town of Etna in Northern California. The operations started in the final months of 2000 and has since then conquered a 12,000 sq ft building to house 40 people at all times constituting staff, volunteers and participants training to go abroad to work at humanitarian and environmental development projects. In 2002 did Campus California TG start its first Development Instructor program preparing people from several parts of the world to volunteer in Mozambique. Later on Campus California TG started programs leaving for Zambia, Botswana, Nicaragua and Guatemala and has since its start trained and placed over 100 people from app. 25 different countries and all continents, to work abroad. This is what is called the Development Instructor program, an activity that for many can turn out to be a life changing experience.
Even though the focus of Campus California TG is of International character is it aiming to be part of creating positive development not only in what can be called the "third world" but any place where we are and where we take action. Be it organizing a summer camp for troubled children in the mountains of California, holding presentations at schools in Oregon, arranging cultural activities for people living in the surrounding areas, performing theatre, hold public speeches about Peace, work with Street Children in Los Angeles, help at a local Hospice, teach at schools, speak to thousands of people during fundraising, making sports tournaments or simply just spreading a positive attitude. This is all Development work, and part of a series of activities aiming towards to create a good life for this planet, its people, all it's beings and for ourselves as activist promoting a positive change. One significant activity recently started is the Clothes collection in the San Francisco Bay area where Campus California TG collect many, many lbs of clothing and shoes for re-use. Instead of a pair of unwanted trousers ends up in the landfills, can the same pair be of great use for another. At the same time as we raise some of our funds by the Clothes collection activity do we give people the opportunity to help the environment and recycle.
Campus California TG (or CCTG as we call it in the daily life) is a new international campus. It was started by the help of many volunteers from many places. A bunch of "dreamers and doers" wishing to show that we can achieve great results by putting our efforts and resources together towards a goal. We started it from scratch!
But CCTG is much more then a dream that has become reality. It is a concept based upon many years of experiences involving thousands of people who have and still are carrying out development and educational work worldwide. Although it was the first time for California to host the Development Instructor program it is not new in concept.
