🏢 About the local organisation
This project is organizedand hosted by De Amicitia. De Amicitia is an environmental non governmental organisation that is funded in 1998 and actively working in the youth field and volunteering for 12 years. The main activity of the organisations is organising workcamps and local/ international youth projects in collaboration with the town halls and local associations.
💼 What the programme involves
The workcamp has two main activities. In the area of Sanet, there are so many orange and mandarine trees. Due to the workload and the lack of time, the farmers are not able to collect them and they got rotten on the trees. The farmers donated the fruits to who ever would like to pick them up. The task of the volunteers will be collecting the fruits to create a homemade marmalade and distribute it to the locals as a gift.In case the wheater is to bad and it is not possible to work outside, the volunteers will have another task which is collecting unused clothes and toys from the neighbours and pack them in order to send those little gifts to the orphanages.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will stay in a volunteer house, with three rooms with several bunkbeds and bathrooms. They will share rooms with four to six other volunteers. The house includes a nice kitchen in which the volunteers will cook for themselves in the guidance of the camp leaders.Sheets need to be brought by the volunteer, sleeping bags are not necessary.
