Volunteers can introduce their skills and interests to bring joy to the everyday life of elderly people.

Volunteers will also participate in the activities of Education and especially in the group, where students with special needs study arts&crafts, music, home economics, and physical education. The aim of the studies is to support students’ personal growth and communication and teamwork skills.
