Descripción:
Volunteers participating in the 2 workcamps will undertake activities in the surrounding land of the Institution such as deforestation, gardening landscape, planting and growing vegetables, herbs and trees in the garden, etc. This is of special importance to the Institution and the children and the young adults hosted there as a great part of the food served to them daily comes from this garden. Volunteers will also help in renovation work eg. painting walls, minor repairs. Volunteers will work from Monday till Friday.
Volunteers will be accommodated in the facilities of the Institution PAMMAKARISTOS. The accommodation is basic but adequate. There are toilets and common showers as well as cooking facilities. Sleeping bag and a carry mat are necessary. Two volunteers of the group every day in shifts will be responsible for maintaining the accommodation place clean as well as for preparing the meals of the day for the whole group.
The Institution PAMMAKARISTOS is located in the beautiful town of Nea-Makri that combines mountain and sea in a unique landscape (the Institution is situated 500 meters away from the town centre and just 700 meters away from the beach), in the district of Attica (North east from Athens). Nea-Makri is a sea side town of 15.000 inhabitants, about 1.15 hours from Athens down town, and is a popular summer holiday place for many Athenians. There is a bus connection between Nea-Makri and Athens (bus-station is just outside the Institution). Volunteers have many places around to visit, apart from Athens, such as the town of Marathonas (classic marathon), Rafina etc. In their free time, participants will have the opportunity to go for a swim and water sports; they may attend events organized during the period of their stay (concerts, festival, performances, etc.). Volunteers will discuss their free time activities with their camp leaders; together they are going to organize excursions and visits.
This is a special project that offers a unique opportunity to help in a practical way an Institution hosting and caring for disabled children in difficult times, while working with other young people from all over the world. Volunteers should feel comfortable being around children and young adults with disabilities. They should be reliable, mature and motivation driven. Good/reasonable English language skills are also required.It is also of great importance, as the workcamps take place within the Institution facilities, that all volunteers pay particular attention to their behavior: we absolutely do not want to interrupt the activities and daily schedule of the Institution that are designed to address the childrenU?U?s special needs for a safe and calm environment. Due to nature of the workcamp volunteers should explain very well in their application form (VEF) the motivation for this workcamp. All accepted volunteers have to provide ELIX with the original Certificate of Good Conduct/Police Check.
