🏢 About the local organisation
Since 2007 there have been international volunteer camps in Ruski Krstur each year. From our experience, the local community is pleased to see new people visiting them and helping to improve their everyday life. "Tourist Association Ruski Krstur' will implement the workcamp this year. It is a relatively young association, dedicated to tourism, environmental protection and rural development.
💼 What the programme involves
In the first week, volunteers will restore and clean some places in the village under guidance of the camp coordinators. Our activities will support the local community. We will restore a swimming area in the canal. Furthermore, we would like to help the church with cleaning the old part of the cemetery and cutting grass.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated either in a boarding school, or in a house belonging to the local Caritas organisation. Beds will be provided but just in case volunteers should bring their sleeping bags. Indoor showers and toilets will be provided.
