🏢 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 3 years ago. The camp will be organised in Kecskemét Children’s Village which is located in the suburbs of Kecskemét city.

💼 What the programme involves
Physical work and organising programs with children. The primarily task of the volunteers is cleaning up the environment (e.g.: playground, park, sports field) of the children’s village. In event of bad weather conditions cleaning up community buildings is also part of the work. For the working you will need proper clothing, tools and gloves are provided by the project partner. As the other part of the work, volunteers will plan and carry out daily free time activities (e.g.: teaching language, sports events, art workshop, games) for the little children. Volunteers will help in the renovation and cleaning up of a local nursery school. The volunteers are asked to prepare a presentation about their home country, their culture, national cuisine, games or dance for the international evenings.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accommodation will be in stone houses in the Kecskemét Children's Village. Beds are provided, but you should bring your sleepingbag. The ingredients are provided for the meals and volunteers will cook together.
⚠️ Requirements
We recommend our camp to proactive, brave, cheerful and hard-working people who like children. Please write us a separate MOTIVATION LETTER to explain us why you find attractive participating in this camp and how you could support the success of the camp and participate with your ideas to the programme!
ℹ️ Additional information
Volunteers will help in the demonstration of the importance of the physical work. Since the youth growing up in the children’s village only can rely on themselves after coming of age, they must learn the value and the joy of a successfull work, and also have to obtain work-experience. The camp and the volunteers will assist this learning process and act as role models. Departure day is 13th August.
Please note, that the camp is organised in a child protection organisation with the participation of vulnerable youngsters, therefore the consumption of any drugs, alcohol or tobacco is stricly FORBIDDEN!
