This project is actively working for SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDGs 16 (Peace, justice and strong institutions) organized by NICE itself for the first time.
In 2011-13, the old couple (Kuroda san) kindly rent a traditional house in their land by free to NICE for it office in Osaka, through the connection of the environmental group in this city with which NICE has been co-organizing workcamps to protect satoyama forests since 1999. A staff and a few LTVs lived there to do the daily work and also to maintain the bamboo forest next to the house. Then, the office was moved to Osaka city and the husband passed away, but this year, the wife decided to donate it to NICE to be used as its office again with expectation to create space for local people incl. elders to gather and enjoy exchange. Therefore, NICE decided to recruit long term residents. Together with NICE, let's work on activities to liven up the community with free and colorful ideas.

This project is actively working for SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDGs 15 (Life on Land), organized together with a local environmental Non-profit organization (NPO) Akame no SATOYAMA wo Sodateru Kai (ASSK) since 1999. Since this area is close from big cities Osaka and Nagoya, there were plans to build a golf field and an incinerator, but local people stopped those plans by the movement called National Trust. They founded the group in 1996 to collect donations to buy and protect lands, to accept people who want to enjoy nature, to maintain forests, to create a pond for dragonflies, to host national corps meeting, etc. SATOYAMA needs to be maintained by humans for its biodiversity and water adjustment function. Our ancestors had protected and utilized the forest in ecological and sustainable way, which was neglected by modernization. We will try to revive it by global voluntary power!!

Children s Development is one of the major programs at VIN s Integrated Community Development Approach. The Goal of the Children s development program is to protect the rights of all children by providing them access to basic quality education, developing their life skills (creativity, leadership etc.) and providing access to health and hygiene services. VIN has different projects under children s development program such as Children s Clubs (CC), Early Childhood Development (ECD), School Attendance (Teacher Development, Parenting Education, School Infrastructure Development, and Child Sponsorship), and Child Care. Even these days in Nepal, schools are focused mainly on examination and are not doing enough to develop life skills like creativity and leadership for children. Teachers only focus on reading and writing U? 1/2 rote learning. Creativity and individual differences in children are not explored. Due to the busy work schedule of parents, most of the children do not have an opportunity to socialize and be creative. These types of camps are so essential to provide life skills development opportunities to children aged between 5-12 years old. We work only with disadvantaged communities as these families cannot afford to take their children to holidays during their Winter and Summer breaks. Children don t have a proper structure and environment at home or a school to develop their innate talents. Children s camp (during winter and summer breaks) is one of the best places to explore their natural skills such as creativity and leadership. In this work camp, national and international volunteers will facilitate different types of fun and creative activities for the children where VIN works. Objectives: U? 1/2 To provide unique opportunities for overall development (social, emotional, physical, mental, creativity) and provide a fun time for children aged between 5 and 12 utilizing their vacation period. U? 1/2 To promote friendship, understanding, and solidarity among local young volunteers and cross-national volunteers. U? 1/2 To provide an opportunity to understand and appreciate the Nepalese culture and traditions via cultural immersion.

Volunteers will stay in a guest house that provides shared accommodations. All volunteers will share a large communal room, with bedding provided for each individual. The guest house offers basic amenities to ensure a comfortable stay, including electricity and running water. There will also be common areas available, such as a living room or outdoor space, where volunteers can gather for group discussions and meetings. The environment is designed to encourage community interaction, providing an opportunity to bond with fellow volunteers while enjoying a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the guest house may be located near local attractions or markets, giving volunteers a chance to experience the local culture during their free time
During their stay, volunteers will be provided with meals that showcase local Ghanaian cuisine, offering an authentic cultural experience. The meals typically include a variety of staple foods such as rice, yams, plantains, and maize, often served with flavorful stews or sauces made with vegetables, fish, or meat. Popular dishes may include jollof rice, fufu, banku, and groundnut soup.
Volunteers with dietary preferences or restrictions, such as vegetarian or vegan options, can often be accommodated with prior notice. While the main meals will be provided, volunteers may also have the opportunity to explore local markets and try street food, allowing them to immerse themselves further in the local culture. Additionally, there may be chances for volunteers to help in meal preparation, learning traditional Ghanaian cooking methods and recipes.
Drinking water will be supplied, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own reusable water bottles and may wish to purchase additional snacks or beverages from local stores during their free time."
This provides a comprehensive view of the food experience in Ghana. Let me know if you'd like to modify it!
