🏢 About the local organisation
This year NGO "The Mountain's Blessings Community" acts as our partner in the organization of a workcamp. The work of this community is aimed at youngsters who suffer from different addictions and seek for their place in the world. In 2016 our partner bought the building of the former Barbele school to open there a multifunctional education centre.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will work 6 hours a day at the building of
the former school which needs to be reconstructed. Their main tasks will
include cleaning and helping with renovation of the rooms. Besides, there will
be work outside: cutting bushes, cleaning the yard, etc.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Living conditions are very basic. The volunteers will
be accommodated in the school building. Toilets and washing facilities will be
provided. Cooking will be done by volunteers themselves.
