🏢 About the local organisation
In 1965, a group of parents of people with intellectual disabilities came together to defend the rights of their children. In order to fight for their full integration, they created an organization with this goal that in 2010 was renamed Ampans Foundation. Right now, it offers several services that support people with this condition, normalizing their lives with respect, professionalism and dedication. Volunteers will mainly help with manual tasks at the farm, vineyard and municipality around the residential home for intellectually disabled people.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers tasks include:
- Clearing and cleaning farm areas to make them suitable as places to visit
- Supporting tasks on the cheese farm (goat cheese)
- Restore vineyard huts
- Renovating public spaces on the municipality (Example: painting a local sports hall)
- Maintain leisure areas of people with disabilities
- Support monitor tasks on the residential home
Although volunteers will be working on a residential home for people affected by intellectual disabilities, their tasks will be mainly manual around the farm, vinyard and municipality.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will sleep on mattresses on a common open space. Meals will be brought to them already cooked.
