About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The volunteers will be providing assistance to our association members who are paraplegics and tetraplegics. They'll primarily focus on meal preparation and maintaining the cleanliness of our facilities. They will also engage in meaningful conversations and activities such as chess and card games. During the camp, we'll arrange guided tours around Bela Krajina and Dolenjska region. On the weekend, we'll attend the folk festival ''Semiška ohcet''. Our stand, located in the town center, will proudly showcase the countries represented by our volunteers, so make sure to bring along any presentation materials. Also, if you have any special talents or abilities, whether it's singing, playing an instrument, or anything else, please let us know so we can incorporate it into our program!

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will gain insight into the day-to-day challenges faced by our members. They won't be involved in personal hygiene tasks or any other personal matters.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be accommodated in a house together with our members (women have a separate room).

⚠️ Requirements

The association gives preference to individuals with a background in humanities. We would be happy to accept a paraplegic or other disabled person who uses a wheelchair.

ℹ️ Additional information

Our association gathers members who use wheelchairs, therefore we will arrange acceptable accommodation and transport, food (please report any preferences or allergies or diets before you arrive), and other things. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, but we might make an exception once in a while. If you have any questions (anything at all), you can ask our camp leader Rok at [email protected] , he'll be more than glad to help you. IMPORTANT: Camp starts on 22.8. at 10. AM at the meeting point and finishes on 29.8. at around 3. PM at meeting point, so please arrange your transport back home accordingly.
