Unsere japanische Partnerorganisation NICE (Never ending international volunteer exchange) leistet neuen Workcamporganisationen in anderen asiatischen Ländern aktive Aufbauhilfe. So auch bei diesen Projekten, die gemeinsam von NICE und der neuen malaiischen Organisation MOVE organisiert und betreut werden. In diesem Jahr wird NICE noch für die Vermittlung von Freiwilligen und viele logistische Aspekte verantwortlich sein. Die Hilfe von NICE ist aber immer eine Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe, d.h. dass MOVE in spätestens zwei Jahren seine Workcamps komplett selbst organisieren soll. Schon in diesem Jahr ist MOVE für die Betreuung vor Ort zuständig.

Malaysia ist ein sehr interessantes Land, in dem, bedingt durch die Geschichte als Handelspunkt, viele verschiedene Kulturen und Religionsgemeinschaften nebeneinander leben, u.a. die moslemische Mehrheit und die recht starke chinesisch-stämmige Minderheit. Malaysia ist ein tropisches Land. Um Versicherungsschutz musst du dich bei diesen Projekten selber kümmern. Vor Ort wird eine zusätzliche Gebühr zur Finanzierung des Projekts fällig.

Hier gibt's eine Erklärung der Abkürzungen.
