📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
The sheltered housing Archa is a facility that focuses on work with adults with mental or combined disabilities from 25 to 70 years of age. It provides living in separate households to the clients amd it leads and prepares them, so that sooner or later they will be able to live an independent life in their home. The volunteer’s main activity will be direct work with centre users by carrying out free time activities with them. It can be playing board games, walks, cooking, reading etc. Volunteer can take the clients for some ice-cream, to a coffee shop or restaurant.Together with other Archa workers, the volunteer will accompany the clients to cultural events, such as cinema, concerts, theatre etc. And if the volunteer has a “gift” for music, the clients will gladly join him/her to sing and play. All of the clients love cooking, so the volunteer can teach them how to cook some of their traditional meal.
