💼 What the programme involves
The Le Bocq Yvoir Asylum Seeker Centre hosts people who have asked for asylum in Belgium. While waiting for the documents that will enable them to remain legally in our country, the asylum seekers are accommodated in this centre.
People living there await the solution concerning their administrative status. They never know what tomorrow may bring to them.

Each morning, with the help of technical leader, volunteers, young and older residents will work together to renovate some part of the buildings. So several tasks (inside and outside) are planned: for example, painting of some corridors and rooms, construction of wood benches, installation of a bicycle parking, construction of some furniture for asylum seeker’s rooms (coat and shoe racks), creation and painting of games for children (labyrinths, hopscotch, …).
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will stay in a common room (dormitory) in a building next to the central one sleeping on mattress. Please bring you sleeping bag. Showers are accessible in the central building. Be aware that living conditions are really “essential”.
You will have a meal at noon prepared by the centre. The other meals will be prepared on self-catering basis using the common kitchen with the residents of the centre.
