ICTC prides itself on playing an important role in the local community. We are constantly looking for ways to implemented programs that promote social and community betterment .We have contributed, and indeed instigated many projects that help the local population. Some of our bigger projects are described below:
The annual Ecological Rally, www.rallyecologico.com, combines environmental awareness with social projects, teamwork and English language skills. Now, going on its fourth year, the Rally has gained international support from AWISH, an international environmental organization (www.awish.net/proj).
Each summer, ICTC runs a summer camp, giving scholarships to under privileged children. During the summer, ICTC works with the volunteer European organization Projects Abroad. This, to help enrich the Summer Camp program with volunteers from all over the world, along with supporting social service for the most needed within the community.
Some of our teachers also spend a few hours a week of their free time at Niños de la Calle, a centre for abused children. They give English classes and participate in various workshops. This can be difficult at times, but it is immensely rewarding and special to be helping these children.
