WORK:

The Asylum Centre for asylum seekers in Hessen is located in the city of Giessen. There are currently about 950 asylum- seekers in Giessen who are in Germany because of various reasons, e.g. political, ethnic, religious, persecution or poverty. Usually they stay at the facility for months until a decision has been made about their application. Sometimes they are sent to other centers or to other safe countries where they entered the European Union, or to their countries of origin. Most of the people living in the Asylum Centre in Giessen are from Turkey, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Eritrea and Balkan countries: Young men, women, children and older people. The asylum seekers live in simple conditions and are not allowed to work or leave the district in which they live. Their permission to stay in Germany is often limited and so is their contact with the locals living in the city. The international volunteers are invited to the Asylum centre for two weeks to take part in the daily life of the refugees. In the study part of the camp, we want to discuss the situation of refugees in Germany and Europe, as well as the current developments in the area of Asylum-policies. We want to get in contact with the residents of the Asylum Centre so that we can learn about their stories, difficulties and perspectives. Together with the refugees we want to organize common activities, where the women and children are taken into consideration. In addition, our goal is to get in contact with the young members of the local protestant church to raise greater awareness for the refugees and to break the isolation of the refugees. We will prepare contact with students of the university that are willing to take care of the medical issues of the refugees and to pursue the legal issues of the asylum law. We will also get in contact with students of the University who medicate people without legal status. We especially invite volunteers to participate, who are able to speak Turkish, Arabic or Farsi. Besides organizing common activities with the refugees we want to do some renovation work together.

CHV is also actively involved in jigger eradication campaigns in the community. In addition, CHV educates the local community about the conservation of Kakamega Rainforest and its fragile ecosystem. The forest is the home to many unique and rare animal and plant species but the increasing high human population has exerted negative pressures to the forest, e.g. illegal logging, charcoal burning, cattle grazing, harvest of medicinal plants and general clearing of the forest for agriculture. CHV involves the community in its preservation, ensuring the forest is cherished as a healthy, unique and diverse ecosystem for the future generations. The work includes Door-to-door jigger eradication campaign, HIV/AIDS home-based care program, School outreach programs, Awareness creation in the community on sexual and reproductive health.

Type of work: DISA

Age: 18 - 30

Number of vols: 10

WORK:

The workcamp is organised by the Miedzylesie Social Care Centre, which was established in 1970 to care for intellectually disabled people. At the moment the Centre cares for 163 patients. Volunteers will help in organizing games, craft activities and excursions for the patients as well as assist the Centre`s staff in caring for them(e.g. feeding, walks). The presence of volunteers greatly helps in breaking the wall of social isolation that our patients experience. This social exclusion negatively influences both their physical and mental states, but thanks to our international volunteers, the patients have the opportunity to interact with different cultures, traditions and languages. Volunteers must be ready to work with intellectually disabled people and should have a strong motivation to do so. Previous experience in working with such children would be an asset.

Oxford Mencaps Hill End summer holidays rely on a wonderful team of volunteers. They organise holidays for adults and young people with learning disabilities. International volunteers will work alongside UK staff and volunteers supporting those on the holidays. Each volunteer will be paired with one camper for the week, and if you volunteer, you will be responsible for accompanying the campers on lots of outings to theme parks, swimming, special events, pub trips or the cinema. Joining in with activities on camp such as playing football, going swimming or just relaxing with some colouring books and a jigsaw. Helping your camper with meals, bedtimes and personal care as needed. Enjoying a chat around the campfire in the evenings. Having a great fun time with your camper. Volunteers also help run other aspects of camp such as cooking, and cleaning as many of the guests attending will not need full time support. Every evening there is an opportunity to talk about experiences in the day and prepare for the next day. Many of the guests at this project have been enjoying these holidays for several years and are likely to show the volunteers what to do. 11th-19th July is older adults week, this is pretty chilled-out. Many of the campers have been coming to adults week for years and are happy to show their volunteers how things work. This week is all about having a fun and interesting holiday. 19th - 26th July is young adults week for slightly younger people - 18-25 yrs and is very much the same as above, but youll need a bit more energy. The weeks are about the campers becoming more independent. They appreciate hanging out with friends their own age, going on trips, playing sports, having a go at new activities and getting ready for that all-important disco. The majority of the guests on this holiday are reasonably independent and they are all great fun to be around. This project is ideal for someone who is interested in working with people with learning disabilities and has a genuine interest in helping someone to get the most of a holiday. It can involve long hours and a great deal of energy - and sometimes a lot of patience. There is a huge emphasis on teamwork as everyone must share in creating a memorable holiday for the guests. Previous experience is not necessary but a willingness to learn is.in Vietnam!Organizzare i workshop sullespressione e creativit per i ragazzi diversamente abili

The project was founded during a two year community project in the same city and build on the results and knowledge that this project generated. We have a clear social goal Training and employing disabled people to improve their quality of life. With a job these young people get independent lives and a possibility to support their family. Furthermore they achieve an unknown self-confidence and learn social skills.

These disabled people now stand before the problem of selling the art products. We therefore seek new ways of promoting and selling the products. Volunteers are welcomed to organize workshops to call for supports from organizations and individuals; volunteers are also trained how to make these products and help the disadvantaged people promote and sell them. Project location is too far from the city centre, not many people know their products, so volunteers are also welcomed to write proposals and help these people find some places that they can introduce their rice paintings to more people.

Age: 18 - 99

Number of vols: 15EXTRA FEE: 180 EUR

WORK:Cancer patients suffer not only physical conditions, but also different mental disorders: depression and anxiety. In Mexico, cancer is the second largest cause of death each year and an estimated of 7000 new cases of cancer occur in people under 20 years. However, these disorders are deeply connected to the reactions of the immune system, which is weak in ill and recovery patients. Viewed as a condition, patients are strengthened emotionally, which have a positive impact on their treatment. "Transcripciones Musicalogrficas Mvil" will lead workshops where art therapy through music and visual art seeks to express various stages of conscious of the patients through different art techniques benefiting reflection, expression and relaxation. This activity is a process of self-expression, which helps people to organize their inner reactions to face events in their lives. These art therapy workshops leaded by artists and psychologists who work on a voluntary basis, will be a means to channel what the patient think, learn and wants to express. They guide the patients through a sensitive technique and artistic.

Volunteers will participate in artistic workshops of in AMANC (a Mexican NGO working with children with cancer). They will spend time with the kids organizing art activities and support the artists and psychologists preparing the materials for activities.
