We are running this successful project in the village of Teisani since 2016. We are proud of having many international volunteers returning to our project. Once with a vibrant rural life, the village is changing these days. About a third of the properties are now owned by people from nearby cities who do not actually live there. The number of children dropped dramatically with one of the schools close to its closure. Some children are living in troubled families who are not able to provide them any highlights for their summer vacation and this is where we come in. This project is an initiative of local enthusiasts with the support of local authorities.
İş Tanımı
We will have about 20 children (aged 8-12) in the camp who will work in groups
with volunteers to accomplish the following:
● Facilitate a cultural exchange between volunteers and local kids in the village.
● Organize different games for children, both fun and educational.
● Do some small community work together with children
● Organize a group trip to the nearby mountains and/or a camping evening.
Konaklama ve Yemek
The volunteers will be accommodated in a private building this year. Please bring your own sleeping bag, we shall provide mattresses. You will likely need it for camping as well. Volunteers may have to prepare their own breakfast and dinner, there is a summer kitchen available for this purpose. Lunch is to be served together with kids. The place has showers and a toilet just next to the building. There will be an option for accommodation in a public building (an upgrade form the private one) however, we shall now if we could use it only about mid June.

Notlar
● During the first day we shall plan activities for the coming days, and each evening we finalize plans for the following day. Depending on availability, we plan to get volunteers involved in an exchange of ideas and crafting the program prior to arriving at the spot.
● Activities with children will be from 10 am to 4-5 pm every day except trip and/or camping days.
● For those interested, there are also a few places the volunteers can visit if inclined, such as the salt mine and horseback riding in a nearby village. These can be arranged after finishing the day's activities with the kids.
