🏢 About the local organisation
SOS Children’s Villages are a global charity, politically and religiously independent, working to prevent family breakdown and protect and care for children who have lost parental care.SOS works to ensure that the rights of all children, in every society, are respected and fulfilled. The children are growing up in family houses where their own brothers and sisters can stay together. Currently, the organisation is active in 134 countries. In Hungary it provides loving home for 400 children and youngsters. Útilapu - SCI Hungary started to cooperate with SOS Hungary 5 years ago. It will be the 3rd year when an international voluntary workcamp is organised in the Kőszeg Children’s Village. Volunteers will help to organise and carry out daily and leisure time activities for the little children.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will plan, organise and carry out daily tasks (f.e. cooking, helping to clean, helping to put kids to bed, etc.) as well as free time activities (f.e. sport events, art workshops, language and music games, excursions, etc) in the summer camp for elementary school aged children. We expect volunteers to be proactive, participating enthusiastically in the creation of a positive experience for the kids and the co-workers in the Village. The summer camp is organised for local children in the town and children living in SOS, while their (foster) parents are on vacation or working. SOS co-workers and 2 trained campleaders will be assisting the whole time. The volunteers are asked to make an interactive presentation about their home country for the international events.
🏠 Accommodation on site
It'll be in one of the family houses in the Kőszeg Children's Village. There are 2 bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. The ingredients are provided for the meals and volunteers will cook together.
Please note, the camp is organised in child protection facilities with the participation of underaged children, therefore the consumption of any drugs, alcohol or tobacco is strictly FORBIDDEN!
⚠️ Requirements
We recommend our camp to proactive, brave, cheerful and hard-working people who like children.
