This meaningful project will be realised in cooperation with the specialist department for visual impairment in central Switzerland. The main work consists of caring for the Children. There will be offered a special training (Saturday the 25th of July 09) about working with children who are visually impaired and blind Children. We offer an interesting programme. To do handicrafts in the house, playing games outside, discover the playing ground "Robinson" and the nature- there will be something for everyone. In this project there will be around 10 kids who are visu-ally impaired and 10 ordinary Children.
Accomodation:
We will spend a wonderful time together in the summer holiday house St. Raphael. It's situ-ated right in the centre of Engelberg and offers many possibilities.
Location:
The village Engelberg is influenced by a picturesque centre, an abbey, nice nature and an amazing alp panorama. Mountain railways are bringing the tourist into different mountains and the panorama is very enjoyable. The holiday camp is near by interesting things to discover.
Terminal:
The nearest airport is Zurich, also possible are Basel and Geneva
Special requirements:
Being interested to work with Children is very important. The project partner is looking for vol-unteers who are patient, creative and have empathy for the kids. The days can depending on the programme be very long and intense. The language of this camp is German.
« 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! »
