Short-term (2 to 4 weeks) "social work" projects in Belgium

Volunteers will help organizing a summer camp for 40 children aged from 6 to 12 who come from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. They will prepare meals for the group and will be allowed, if they want to, to propose activities together with the social workers of the camp. A camp preparation will take place from 14 to 22 April. For more information please check www.cemome.be

In a guesthouse, please bring a sleeping back and a pillow if you need one.

Volunteers will spend the first two nights in Brussels to decide about the menus for the camp. They will then go to the camp place which is a 2-hour drive from Brussels. The camp will take place in Wellin, located 15 km from Rochefort.

Three volunteers will take care of the food and two others will be responsible for the animation. A certain level of French is expected of them as activities will take place with children who don't speak English.

The volunteers will help in decorating the park of the center - Cutting the hedges, construction of a bowling alley and picnic tables, planting flowers - The international volunteers are warmly welcome and the residents are already impatient to meet and work with new people.

In a resting place. We will have our own dormitory. Don't forget your sleeping bag. Self-catering. Meals will depend on our cookery talents.
