🏢 About the local organisation
SCI Poland has been successfully co-operating with Monar for 20 years. Monar is the largest Polish NGO dealing mainly with drug addicts. Monar runs 30 rehabilitation centres in different parts of Poland, 5 of them specialising in the therapy of young people. The Gaudynki centre is one of them. It is situated in the picturesque area of the Land of the Great Masurian Lakes in the north-eastern part of Poland, among fields and forests, far from the hectic cities. In the Monar Gaudynki there are around 30 patients, between 20 and 30 years old, who work and live together undergoing a group one-year long therapy.Beside dealing with daily life activities there are many different artistic, sport and outdoor events, theatre workshops etc., used as tools of therapy and rehabilitation.
💼 What the programme involves
The main task of volunteers is to socialise with the community, by helping them in their everyday work (gardening, cleaning, working in the kitchen, renovating etc.) and taking part in leisure time activities with them. Games, camp-fires, sport activities, workshops with/for the residents will bring fresh energy and relaxation to the centre. During the second week volunteers will go with the patients on a camping trip to the beautiful area on the lakeside.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In the house of the community, in one or two rooms and in big tents during the camping trip. Tents will be provided by Monar. Please bring sleeping bags with you
