🏢 About the local organisation
InDaHouse Hungary is an association that works with young people having fewer opportunities to live in Borsod county. The organization operates with volunteers who donate their time and knowledge to hold individual and group sessions for children to improve their social and learning skills. The goal of the activities is to empower them to become responsible adults with plans and fulfilment and with the ability to pass this knowledge on to the next generations. They have an early childhood development program for kids under 6, and they study individually with the older ones (from 6 to 18) to practice comprehension, mathematics and English.
💼 What the programme involves
The program needs more space, and now they are going to rebuild/renovate an old house for their activities in the village close to their existing youth centre. As volunteers, we invite you to support the renovation work. It will include wall dismantling, brickwork, plasterboarding, tiling, flooring, plastering, painting, etc. The work will be scheduled from 8.30 am till 4 pm with small breaks in between. They have a foreman who has the qualification and ability to break down the working processes for small tasks that everyone is able to carry out. No specific experience is required for this work and it will be lighter physical work, not wall breaking or cementing, so feasible for girls and boys equally.
