They make these children feel that they are needed, full-valued and help them to reveal their talents and abilities.

Volunteers are to read methodic literature about work and special games for disabled children. They are also asked to bring different games and face-paint for the work with children.
« I can say that the best things about the workcamp and this whole experience were the chance of making a real difference to the lives of very needy children. This is an extremely valuable project where volunteers can have a massive impact. Also the possibility of learning a huge amount about a country so different from our own. I learnt ten times as much by carrying out a workcamp than I would ever do backpacking. »
