📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Krasocin is a village located in The Świętokrzyskie Mountains, in the south-central Poland. It's surrounded by forests and fields. The forests are full of hares and deer, the fields smell with flowers. Inhabitants of Krasocin love their own place, they are local patriots and many of them social-workers. There are a lot of historical events (e.g. reconstructions of battles). Many local kids have no chance to spend holidays outside their place of living because of their material situation. They don't have much opportunity to travel so we want to let the world come to them. Our aim is to build children's self-esteem and self-confidence, encourage them to speak English, teach tolerance and openness towards diversity, develop creativity. We invite volunteers full of ideas and positive energy.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will be responsible for organizing activities (artistic, sport, educational, craft) for children who stay in their hometown for holidays. Volunteers will also assist during the trips to the swimming pool and to the cinema.
