ESC: Volunteering with children and youth at "Elisabethheim"

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Deutsch: Das Elisabethheim Havetoft widmet sich der Aufnahme, Begleitung, Förderung und Verselbständigung von Kindern und Jugendlichen, die Hilfen zur Erziehung brauchen. Es unterhält dabei eine Tagesgruppe für Kinder ab dem Schulalter, Wohngruppen, eine Landwirtschaft sowie verschiedene Therapiegruppen. Die Jugendlichen kommen aus zerrütteten Elternhäusern, sind von den Adoptiveltern davon gelaufen, haben bereits Zeit im Jugendgefängnis oder einige Zeit auf der Straße zugebracht. Sie sollen im Elisabethheim ein "Zuhause" finden. The Elisabethheim Havetoft is dedicated to the admission, attendance and promotion and the support of independance of children and teen-agers who need help in education. We have daily groups, living groups, farming and therapy groups. We support teen-agers coming from diffcult family backgrounds and with sometimes delinquental behaviour, some of them had been homeless. In the Elisabethheim we want to give them a "home".
