The Hajnalcsillag Tanoda (Morning Star After-school) was established by the Kecskemét Reformed Congregation to support disadvantaged–primarily Roma–children in a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment. The congregation is actively involved in the life of the Tanoda, providing both financial and spiritual support. In addition to supporting children’s academic development, the Tanoda plays an important role in strengthening community bonds and fostering a sense of belonging.

Volunteers will stay in a college building located about a 15-minute walk from the after-school center and around 10 minutes from the city center. Accommodation is in shared rooms (2–3 rooms in total). Bathrooms are located in the corridor, with separate male and female facilities, each equipped with showers. A small kitchen is available for simple food preparation, along with a common space where the team can relax and spend time together. During the program, volunteers will eat together with the children. Three meals are provided each day: breakfast, lunch, and a hot afternoon meal. You will also be invited to help with food preparation, giving you the chance to cook and share a traditional dish from your home country with the children. All ingredients will be provided by the host organization.
