Volunteers & Camp Participants taking a Stroll on the Malecon - 2014
In April 2015 World Access Project will be returning to Puerto Vallarta for the seventh year.
During the week we will donate wheelchairs and other mobility equipment to impoverished people with disabilities from Puerto Vallarta and surrounding communities; hold a one-day sports camp teach those who receive wheelchairs how to use there equipment; and we’ll invite those who receive equipment to visit a dolphin show in Nuevo Vallarta.
Volunteers fly into Puerto Vallarta airport. We will meet you as you arrive at the airport and take you to the nearby hotel.
Sunday afternoon we will all have some time to get to know each other, have a short training time and orientation.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we will be distributing wheelchairs.
Thursday we will host a recreation/sports camp to show those who receive wheelchairs how to get around and be more active. We will have athletes who use wheelchairs, and other volunteers, show the participants of the camp how to play sports.
Many of those who will receive the donated equipment don’t have the resources to get out of the house, so Friday we will treat them to a special event – a dolphin show at Vallarta Adventures. An incredible time of laughs, ahhs & amazement.
Volunteers fly back to the U.S. Saturday.
The cost of the trip is $750 which includes transportation in Mexico, accommodations at a beautiful hotel on the ocean, lunches during the days of the distribution, participation in the sports camp, dolphin excursion, travel insurance, and of course, a t-shirt.
To sign up for the trip fill out our Volunteer Application (bottom of page) and send it to Carol Wilson, our Trip Administrator. If you have questions please email the trip leader, Richard St.Denis.
