🏢 About the local organisation
The Albert-Schweitzer-Children’s Village in Waldenburg was found in 1957. A Childrens’s Village exists of several houses where the kids live like in a small family together, because they don’t have the opportunity to live with their parents. The goals of this association are to respect the personality and feelings of every child, to bring forward individual skills and creativity as well as to make a good physical and mental development possible. This summer in May, they will be hosting the KidoCup with over 300 kids for one weekend. It is a big sports event for children and teenagers from Children’s Villages all over Germany. The organizers are very happy to get the help of an international workcamp to realize the KidoCup 2015 and they are looking forward to organise various leisure activities like city sightseeing, camp fire evenings or canoeing for you.
💼 What the programme involves
You will help the organizers of the KidoCup in all phases of the event. Before the event starts, you will set up everything in the Children’s Village. You will prepare the accommodation for the guests, set up the sport venue and take over many logistical tasks. The weekend during the KidoCup you will supply the guests with food and drinks. This is a great opportunity to get in contact with the children and teenagers, who are participating in the event. Afterwards you will help to clean up the area.
