SUMMER 2008 (JUNE-JULY):

Each summer, the Auris Project invites volunteers to participate in our International Volunteer Program (IVP). Through this innovative program, the Auris Project seeks to help our communities in rural Mexico access key rights and development information, support volunteerism, and  encourage intercultural relationships between socially conscious people from around the world and the communities we serve.

The International Volunteer Program in Catorce , San Luis Potosí allows visitors from across the world to assist in the development of a marginalized community, live with local families, and share knowledge, experiences and ideas.

Located in the biologically diverse Altiplano Potosino, Catorce is one of the most interesting, historically important, and underserved municipalities in Mexico . It is located in Central Mexico and known by many as the place of the mystical mountaintop town of Real de Catorce. It is also the home of the Last Door of Wuiricuita, the centuries-old sacred route of the Huichol Indians. Its 11,500 residents make their living mostly through farming, services, and goat herding.

The IVP is ideal for development professionals, researchers, activists, scholars, families and students. The program has proven to be an effective way for our constituents to share the customs, culture, and challenges of their community with interested visitors. At the same time, our volunteers gain valuable knowledge that can assist them in becoming leaders in their chosen fields and participate in exciting activities not to be found anywhere else.

Auris International Volunteers get to explore a beautiful and historic region, improve there Spanish speaking skills, learn a unique culture, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
