LYVG & GREMI “TEMI Community Home”

Helping residents of the TEMI community in constructing works, working in the garden, cleaning, games, teaching, caring for fosterlings and helping them in their daily activities. Naturally enough, we encourage able-bodied volunteers to participate in the heavier physical work. We don’t insist on this, but are most appreciative if volunteers choose to participate. The normal working hours are six hours a day for 6 days a week. If you are doing a heavy job for a few hours, you can combine it with lighter agricultural work, such as planting/weeding/watering; teaching, helping with household chores, organized leisure activities etc. You may also change the combination of tasks during the period of your stay. The majority of volunteers do not find the work onerous, but accept that it is a natural way to integrate effectively with the community. TEMI constructing works – to help artisans’ team; organic farming, vineyard (digging, mowing, weeding, sowing, planting, harvesting); Taking care of the bees; wood workshop/carpentry/ cabinet making – professional production – limited access largely dependent upon the experience of the individual volunteer; help in the kitchen (washing dishes, serving, etc); help in the maintenance of the residence; working with community vulnerable members and other fosterlings: taking care of the physical condition of certain residents; teaching overall skills, games, sport games, hiking, etc; teaching - learning workshops: music, pottery, drawing, arts, etc.; help in staging a play /other entertainment. Day off – Sunday. The Volunteer needs to be interested in social – educational work. • Volunteers should be flexible and willing to work with/together with children, love children. • It is preferable that the volunteer will have some experience in working with children. • It is preferable that the volunteer will have some practice in farming. • It is preferable that the volunteer will be creative. • Volunteers should be willing to become a part of our big family. TEMI vision is a sustainable Community where people live together safely, with dignity and respect for each other, other human beings and the environment, committed to provide best quality health and social care to its members and to enable them to develop their full potential as individuals and as a group. TEMI aims: I. To provide a safe and stimulating environment in which socially vulnerable people can develop to their full potential; II. To achieve “I” above via social enterprise; developing TEMI’s capacity to earn an income in order to be self-sustainable and to ensure our long-term survival; III. To achieve both “I” and “II” above via environmentally friendly treatment of the earth and nature, so as not to sacrifice moral values and common good to a short-term gain.
