The work will consist into helping the community in the everyday tasks such as: sorting out 2nd hand cloths, sorting out 2nd hand furniture or materials or books- helping into collecting the 2nd hand things in the people house (only strong volunteers can do that), You will participate in a great sell out on 9 and 10th July. Selling the books/cloths/furniture to the public, tidying up the different little shops in the community- finally any mission useful for the well being of the community. Most of the companions have had hard times and harsh experiences. They are often tough people in appearance, who won t talk much at first. Volunteers should be mature, and aware of the difficulty of establishing communication with the companions and of gaining their confidence It is important to keep in mind that it is a social project, so that volunteers have to adapt their timetable to the one of the companions. Volunteers will have to be really motivated because it is a difficult work : they will work from Tuesday to Saturday from 7:30 am till 5:00 pm. Sunday and Mondays are free. Please note that although the project is close to Paris, you will have a limited time to visit the city, due to long working hours which cannot be bargained. If you do not agree with these conditions please do not apply. As extra activity, you will create an exhibition on the topic of tolerance, together withthe companions. Your creative talents will be needed
