Resumo: Our foundation caters for mentally handicapped adults.

Perfil: We are looking for open-minded volunteers who can accommodate easily and open to the new challenges who are socially sensitive and helpful. The volunteers should feel sympathy with the disabled people and have a skill to cooperate and work with these people. Regarding that our foundation help people live with different disabilities social sensitivity and tolerancy is a must. Not necessary, but it is an advantage, if you have: - Sending organization - Some information/experience with people who have special needs - Little knowledge of Hungarian

Tarefas: Volunteers coming to us can take part in many different, interesting activities. They can help us on our farm, participate in the daily life of our day-care and residential centres and join in and develop free-time activities for the clients. Our main motivation behind participating in this programme is to encourage social integration between young people from across Europe and people living with different disabilities. We are glad to accept their help on our farm where they can deal with both vegetable growing and animal keeping. In our day-care centre they can help in handicraft workshops and participate in different therapy programmes, as well as in different leisure time activities. We regularly organise professional and non-professional meetings where we are glad to welcome our volunteers. During common programmes volunteers can learn how to communicate and cooperate with people living with mental disabilities in practice. We are opened to intercultural partnerships. We are looking forward to meeting our volunteers. We would like to give the opportunity for our volunteers to introduce their own countries and cultures in front of an audience. It is very important for us that volunteers can keep in contact with people from their home countries during their stay here. We would like the opportunity to show and teach them everything they need to know about Hungary, the Hungarian culture and Hungarian people. Hopefully providing a highly positive experience which they will be able to use all of their lives. We will do our best to ensure that they will have a very good time here.

We work with adults with a broad spectrum of mental disabilities within two living centres catering for up to 24 young people and a day-care centre. The volunteers can help out in the workshops where they produce souvenirs like candles, paper materials and carpets. They can work in our farm in the organic garden, preparing goats’ cheese and in the stable. The foundation has a kitchen where our own cultured vegetables are processed. The volunteers can also take part in the personal development programme of the clients, examples of activities include dance and music therapy The foundation plays an active role in the social field not only in the region but also at a country wide and European level, we often organize meetings for professionals and have guests from other countries. The volunteers help us both in the preparation of these meetings and during the events. The volunteers can help us in different activities and besides work they also have a unique role in the development of the lives of our young people. The disabled folk have hardly any opportunity to get to know other young people of their age and through the volunteers they are “forced” to communicate in a different way than with the other people and establish new friendships which creates a massive opportunity for personal development and even learn some words in a different language. Our volunteers gained a lot of experience here and they not only learnt in a regular way but could also improve their personal skills and capacities. We provide Hungarian lessons twice a week, they take part in the EVS clubs and other local events organized by the regional office of the national agency not only in Miskolc but also in other places in the county. Through our conferences and meeting they can get to know a lot of people acting it the social field. We are open to new initiatives, new ideas coming from the volunteers and help them to manage their “own projects”.
