🏢 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.
