Resumo: (activity with children)
The hosting organization is a state institution that hosts around 75 children and youngsters with
disabilities, aged 3 to 35 years old. The compound of the institution is quite big: the children and youngsters live in 5 different houses, there are multiple buildings for physio- and ergotherapy, a school, kitchens, a place to do laundry and our activity center. The children and youngsters living in the institution have moderate to heavy physical and mental disabilities or come from traumatic family backgrounds.
Most have little or no contact with their family. Nurses take care of their physical needs (like washing, feeding, medication) but there remains a need for psychological, social and educational support of the children and youngsters. Even today, most children still receive very little sꢀ mulation and spend a lot of time in their beds, living with a lack of personal space and contact. The volunteers offer extra care and aꢀ enꢀ on to the children and act as a bridge between the institution and the outside world.

Perfil: Age: 18-30

Tarefas: Every volunteer has a different program, depending on the children s/he is working with and the personal strengths
and interests of the volunteer. However, all volunteers share the following tasks:
➢ In the mornings: acꢀ viꢀ es with the children with heavy disabiliꢀ es, who do not aꢀ end school (going for walks,
playing or listening to music, giving them a massage, playing simple games, basic stimulation)
➢ In the aꢂernoons: carrying out different group acꢀ viꢀ es in our acꢀ vity center inside the insꢀ tuꢀ on (cooking,
handcraꢂs, drawing, sports, sewing, English lessons…), going for excursions outside of the insꢀ tuꢀ on (cinema,
bowling, playground, swimming pool)
➢ Sometimes: brushing the teeth of the children, cleaning and organizing the activity center
➢ In the summer: going to the beach of PAAPAV and swimming with the children

Besides that, we organize and carry out the following activities:
➢ Individual learning projects for specific children (pracꢀ cing self-help skills, learning the alphabet, learning how to use money, cooking lessons, computer lessons, english lessons…)
➢ Social integration (visiting a supermarket, a bank, a museum, or a post office)
➢ Raising awareness in the local community about disabilities and the life inside and insꢀ tuꢀ on and trying to
involve Greek people to volunteer in the institution
➢ Fund-raising to sponsor acꢀ viꢀ es with the children
➢ Any other acꢀ vity depending on the abiliꢀ es, interests, needs or desires of the children

In short, we are responsible for helping the children spend their time in a creative and enjoyable way.
