📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The aim of the Elj tudatosan EgyesElet (Live Consciously Association) is to provide effective help to young people and their families in a successful social integration after leaving the state care or still living in disadvantaged conditions. The majority of the supported families are strongly connected to Tiszadob where the parents grew up in the Child Protection Centre. The association supports these families with helping them in schooling, with participating in childrens camp and with donations. The association operates a mentor system which helps the families to find job or a suitable home. The association has a donation shop in KecskemEt and Tiszadob which are also a workplace for the parents from the supported families.
💼 What the programme involves
Physical work and organising a sport day for the local families. The primarily task of the volunteers is located in KecskemEt in the donation shop. The volunteers will help around the shop; they will help in organising, selecting, cleaning and packing the stock (clothes, shs, accessories, household machines, toys etc.) of the donation shop. As the other part of the work, volunteers will plan and carry out the program of a Family Sport day in Tiszadob with the local organisers together. The Sport day is going to be organised for the local families and young children with the aim to get in touch with the families in need, creating a platform to meet the opportunities provided by the association. The volunteers will also have program together with the supported families.
🏠 Accommodation on site

📍 About the location

ℹ️ Additional information
Volunteers will help in the demonstration of the importance of the physical work and to show how can different cultures can live and work together. The volunteers are asked to prepare a presentation about their home country, their culture, national cuisine, games or dance for the international evenings. It would be great if you could bring recipes with you so during these 2 weeks we could taste several national meals. Apart from this there will be cultural evenings when the volunteers will present their countries/costums/dishes to the youngsters, when volunteers can prepare their national food, and introduce their country and culture. If you play on any musical instrument, please, take it with you if it s possible
