SL-India has its very own eco-friendly Centre for Experiential Living (CEL) at Kundapura, in the lush
green, rural area of coastal Karnataka, which is home to breath-taking fauna and flora. The Centre
itself is surrounded by coconut and mango trees, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity
In 2014, FSL India established a centre with a broad objective of providing a unique opportunity for
National / International volunteers and local communities to understand and experience
Sustainable Agriculture practices, propagating environmental education to youth and children,
training on social leadership and preparation of stakeholders of Sea turtle Conservation through
workshops and awareness sessions. The international volunteers that we receive through the long
term / mid-term / work camp programs will have the chance to experience environment friendly
technologies adopted in the CEL during the orientation seminar, evaluation seminars and get-
together organized by FSL India. Few of the environment friendly technologies adopted are Rain
water harvesting, Solar energy harvesting used for lighting, fans and Solar water heater. The CEL is
established in a location surrounded by greenery and the centre itself has adopted many green
technologies and waste management systems such as the usage of a kitchen waste, dry leaves for
compost. The CEL provides opportunities to interact with many Long Term Volunteers and Home

Sea Turtle Conservation :
For the past 15 years, the Sea Turtle population has been under threat from fishing and egg
predation by local population. Three species of the protected Sea Turtles are nesting on India's
West Coast and all of them are endangered species. The increased threats caused by humans
could drive them to extinction
With an effort to protect these endangered species, FSL-India is working along a 60 kilometre
stretch of the beach in the south and north of Kundapur, Karnataka state. The work is focused on
protection and conservation of Sea turtle, by promoting awareness about the eco-system and
addressing related environmental issues
The work involves
* Conducting surveys, gathering and analysis of data (January to April)
* Creating awareness generation amongst the local community, schools children, and harbours
and fishing communities. (November to December)
* You will also be required to build hatcheries, safeguard nesting, build in temporary
information centres, as well as design and create promotional material (January to April)
The Info-sheet will have more information regarding the
individual projects with schedules, and activities

The beaches of Kundapur are among the nesting areas of the Olive Ridley and Green Sea Turtles, in India. During the mating season, the female turtles come to shore to lay their eggs in the dead of
night. These eggs are prized as a delicacy by the local people, who used to sell them in the open
market. Depredations by dogs, crows and other predators, as well as infrastructure development
contributed to a slow decrease in the sea turtle population.
In 2005, FSL India (Field Services & inter-cultural Learning) started our Sea Turtle Conservation
Project in co-operation with the Forest Department of the Karnataka State Government, in the
Kundapur taluk of Udupi District, through the implementation of VFC (Village Forest Committee)
and MTCI (Maravanthe Turtle Conservation Initiative). FSL India operates the STC project over a 60
km stretch along the coastline, which is divided into 12 zones of 5 kms each with a contact person
appointed for each zone.
The Camp:
FSL India creates awareness for the fishermen community and schoolchildren regarding
conservation of the Sea Turtle, through talks, puppet shows and mural paintings at more than 50
schools during the season. Every year, 1 Turtle Information Centre is built every 5 kms along the
beach, to provide information to the local communities. Beach work and cleanups are organised on
a regular basis.
Activities:
* Plastic and other non-degradable waste is a huge hazard to marine life. Join us on a beach walk
and help clean up the surrounding beaches
* Meet the stalwarts of the fisherman community, listen to fishing yarns, talk to them about sea
turtle conservation
* Educate the locals on the importance of the sea turtle in the marine life cycle
* Paint to your heart's content, create beautiful murals on sea turtle conservation
* Help to conduct an awareness rally at the fishing harbour and classes at the nearby schools
around the sea turtle area, to conduct awareness
* Building a Turtle Information Centre at the beach is a vital part of our campaign to create
awareness on sea turtle conservation for beachgoers.

Leisure activities:
Tibet has maintained a unique culture, religion and language for centuries. After the Chinese
invasion in 1950, the Dalai Lama, Tibet's political and religious leader sought and was given asylum
in India, along with thousands of Tibetan refugees. Today, there is a thriving settlement in
Dharamshala, which is called Tibet-in-exile.
To learn about Tibetan culture and religion, there are many places of interest at Dharamshala.
Tsuglagkhang, Mcleodganj the residence of the Dalai Lama is a must-visit, as are the Tibet
Museum, Dalai Lama temple, Tibetan Parliament House, Library of Tibetan Works and Archives,
War Memorial and Kangra Art Museum. The Tibetan Children's Village, a charitable organisation,
caters to children who are in the greatest need among the refugees. For the last 5 decades, it has
run solely on the generosity of its well-wishers.
At Gyuto and Namgyal Monasteries, you can interact with the Tibetan monks and get valuable
insights into the peace-loving Buddhist philosophy. If you are in the right place at the right time,
you could even be fortunate enough to meet His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama himself. Palampur,
the Tea Capital of North India is famous for its beautiful tea gardens, which are a natural scenic
sight. Tea lovers can pick up some handcrafted, fresh mountain teas here. Some of the teas
available are Black Teas, White Teas, Oolong Teas, Green Teas and Tisanes.
Optional:
Trekking in the Himalayan mountains is a not-to-be-missed experience. If you wish, we will arrange
a 2 or 4-day trekking activity around the mountains of Dharamshala and Triund. This will be in the
3rd week of the camp. The trekking cost will be as follows:2 days -3000 INR per Pax, for minimum 5 Pax (1 night stay, 2 days)
