Location: The workcamp will take place in Eschenau close to St. Pölten. Work: We will work with children from homeless families. We will help to renovate the house where they are living. We will show the children different cultures with international games, etc. We will work five days a week but we will also make excursions with the children on the weekend. Accomodation: We will be hosted in the “Kinderbauernhof (childrensfarm www.kinderbauernhof.at)” where the children also stay. We will cook for ourselves. (Please inform us whether you require a special diet or vegetarian.)Things to bring with you: You need to bring with you a sleeping bag but we have beds for everybody, we don’t sleep on the floor!!! Working clothes, working shoes, raincoat, swimming suit, sun protection. If you require any medicaments (e.g. because of an allergy), don’t forget to bring them with you. Your accommodation and food are covered – however, we recommend you to bring some pocket money: The currency used in Austria is Euros. Furthermore we invite you to bring typical food, spices, drinks, games and music from your country (for an intercultural evening and workshops for the children) – and a lot of motivation to work with children!!Insurance: During the workcamp we will only have insurance for accidents. Nevertheless, you need a full insurance for your travel and the time in Austria, don’t forget to arrange your insurance prior to your departure! LA: English/German T: Vienna Motivation letter needed!
« I would recommend participating in a workcamp, especially with VAP, who ensured that I found a project to suit me and provided essential training for me in preparation for my trip. Being part of a workcamp really is a life-changing experience, oh, and it looks great on your CV! »
