Carmarthenshire, located in the Southwest of the country, is known as ‘The Garden of Wales’ for its beautiful countryside, which reaches from the rugged coastline of Carmarthenshire Bay in the south, to the Black Mountain region of the Brecon Beacons in the east and the gentle hills of Pembroke to the West. Caerfyrddin (or Carmarthen, in English) is the county’s largest town, and the legendary birthplace of Myrddin, the wise magician of Welsh folklore, better known as Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian legend. This project is hosted by Carmarthenshire County Council. One of the Council’s obligations is to encourage access to the countryside and to maintain areas of the countryside, footpaths and country parks. The group leaders for the project will be MTVs (medium term volunteers) who will be staying in Carmarthenshire for around four months and assisting with several international projects. Work: Volunteers will carry out practical environmental tasks alongside professional contractors. Most of the work will involve making improvements to public access in the park (i.e. improving and developing footpaths), creating picnic areas and information points, and also clearing scrub for reforestation. The work will be physical, outdoors and may be in unpleasant conditions such as rain, wind and mud (even in summer). There will be full days of work (09.00-17.00) so volunteers may become tired and sore, and should be prepared to work hard! Volunteers on this project will mainly be working on public rights of way and will assist with building bridges, making boardwalks, constructing stiles and general clearance work. The work will take place in varying locations around Carmarthenshire. Volunteers may also participate in some global activities with children and young people in schools and youth centres around Carmarthenshire. Volunteers should expect to take part in these activities once or twice during their stay. These activities will be informal sessions and will concentrate on volunteers giving these young people some information about where they come from and running activities with them. Volunteers might like to think about activities or games from their own countries that they might be able to contribute to these sessions – for example a national dance, simple songs, children’s games, arts and crafts activities etc. The group of MTVs (medium term volunteers) staying in Carmarthenshire will help to lead these activities. Location: The group will be living and working in a beautiful part of Wales where there are many hills, beaches and castles. There will also be plenty of opportunities to hear Welsh being spoken as many local people have it as their first language. Welsh is one of the oldest languages in Europe and belongs to the Celtic language tree. It is still spoken by approximately 20% of the population. Accommodation: The group will live in the Glanaman youth resource centre, staying in dormitory accommodation. The group will cook for themselves in the kitchen in the centre. The centre also has two bathrooms, a washing machine, a pool table and internet access. Glanaman itself is a small town but there is a post office, a couple of small shops and a pub.
