Descripción:
Volunteers participating in the 3 workcamps will undertake mainly renovation activities - both at the exterior and the interior of the facilities: such as painting rooms and walls, etc. and activities in the surrounding land of the Institution. Volunteers will work from Monday till Friday.
Volunteers will be accommodated in the facilities of the Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre KAAPAA SHISTOU. 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 Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre KAAPAA SHISTOU is located near the Industrial Park of Shisto, in the area of Skaramagas about 15 km from Athens centre and 8 km from Piraeus. The Centre is 6 km away from the town of Elefsina (the ancient historic town of Eleusis), near the Gulf of Elefsina, in the district of West Attica, northwest from Athens. Skaramagas is an area with shipyards with around 2.600 inhabitants. Elefsina, the nearest town, has 25.863 residents, and is about 20 km from Athens down town. There is a bus connection between Sxisto and Piraeus and a variety of transportation connections from Piraeus to Athens. Volunteers have many places around to visit in their free time (besides Athens and Piraeus), such as Elefsina and the island of Salamina. 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, teenager, and young adults in difficult times, while working with other young people from all over the world. Volunteers should feel comfortable being around people 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.
