Resumo: The hosting organization carries its activities (an autonomous-territorial unit within the structure of Moldova, with a special legal status). The population is about 155.6 thousand people (4.6 of the country's population resides in the territory of ATU Gagauzia). The people account for 82.1 of the total number of residents.

Moldovans, Russians, Ukrainians, Bulgarians and Roma are represented by small local communities in various villages. The majority of the population (about 68) lives in the countryside.Moreover, Russian and Moldovan (Romanian) are the official languages in Gagauzia along with Gagauzian.The majority of the population prefers to speak Russian language. Gagauzia is situated in the southern part of the country. The territory of consists of a developed network of roads. The favourable geographical position is provided by the proximity to the seaports of Odessa, Ilychovsk (Ukraine), and river ports on the Danube in the town of Gurgulesti and to the Chisinau airport.

The distance between administrative centre Comrat and only international passenger airport in Moldova (in Chisinau) is 100 km. Another airport is available in Odessa (Ukraine). The air tickets from European counties both to Moldova and Ukraine are very expensive; so many citizens of EU countries prefer to fly by law cost airlines not directly to Chisinau airport, but to Bucharest (capital of Romania). The journey from Bucharest to Comrat or Chisinau takes approximately 6-7 hours by bus or train. The economy of the ATU Gagauzia is based on agriculture and wine-making. The income level and standard of living amongst the Gagauzian population is similar to the situation in the southern part of Moldova. In some regards, (the health level, educational system, guarantees for small business and international investors) Gagauzia has more advantages. The main internal problem of the region is labour migration. About 10% Gagauzian people work abroad, predominantly in Turkey, Russia and Greece.

Perfil: We are interested in volunteers who have a basic competence in English (or other relevant international languages such as Russian or German), self-starters and those that possess initiative, are open-minded and prepared for challenges. In order to have a positive experience, it is very important for the volunteer to bring a lot of initiative and motivation to her or his participation in activities with kids. She should be open minded about different areas of work. The selection procedure will be a part of work of Miras-Moldova with our involvement.

The age limit for volunteers is not so important, It's most important that the volunteer had a desire to work with kids. The volunteers are informed via internet and direct discussions about all the conditions of their stay in Moldova. The candidates are selected by means of an open call for volunteers where everyone can participate regardless of their political, religious views and regardless of their gender; however we try to make a balanced gender group of volunteers. By thorough study of the motivation letters and CVs of the volunteers and as well as by conducting direct interviews via Skype or phone by a responsible person in Miras-Moldova(our contact point in EVS) we attempt to find the most appropriate candidates for the projects. It will not be possible in general to generate a job substitution situation as the volunteers will be doing activities not related in general to the administrative or any other field which is supporting the development and maintenance of any organisation.

Tarefas: The project Childhood is not a privilege in the organization gives volunteers a good opportunity for personal and professional growth. Staying in Moldova and immersing yourself in this culture is a nice chance to develop intercultural tolerance and competence, and to increase European awareness.

Volunteers will be in permanent contact with local non-governmental leaders and the student community by participating in the organisation of different activities such as public actions, events and fairs.

Our activities aim to: assist children in difficult situations and in need of special support and care, to draw attention to the socially vulnerable children, to provide children with love, and a family-type of care and support.

In the center children are working on building a personal and social life with the help of local counterparts. The volunteers will take part (under the social worker's supervision) in helping with homework, the school and evening program at the school. The volunteer must show imagination and resolve in these crucial moments against which the child rebels sometimes. S/he will also be present during the meals and during the different extra curricular activities (cultural, artistic or sports) within the group. These moments create privileged contacts with the children. We understand that some of volunteers will have no experience in working with kids and do not speak language. But the staff of the organization and members of Miras-Moldova will try to support in learning process of volunteer. To reach this goal the responsible staff will organize:
- Meeting for volunteers on regular basis to discuss about their work, planning activities of organization and volunteers own projects,
- Making personal plans for volunteers
- Show them the steps of activities, supporting in daily life for professional stuff, let them practice and create new ideas.
- To provide necessary support and materials during the project
- Give them practical and concrete tasks and work
- To stimulate them work trough participation in different training, organized by the irganization

During all the project the volunteer will be in permanent contact with them mentor and the tutor in the organization. The mentor will facilitate adaptation of the volunteer to new conditions, integration into local community, discovery of the host town; mentor will also help to meet other young people and will participate in leisure activities of the volunteer outside the organization. . As well the mentor will be in contact with the projects coordinator of Miras-Moldova and local volunteers.

The tutor will help them to organize them work at place, guide and assist the volunteers in their daily activities and integration within the organization. Regular private meetings will ensure support in relation to the volunteers' tasks. Volunteers will organize leisure time for children in collaboration with teachers so they will:

During the project the volunteers will be directly involved in all activities of the School such as trainings, different charity actions and summer camps for children. As well, the volunteers will have a chance to create their own projects outside the Orphanage. They may also collaborate with volunteers from Comrat to create English clubs and youth clubs in the city similar to those already established in Comrat. To reach this goal, the volunteer will work side by side with the personnel of the School and their mentors.

Normal working hours in the school are usually from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. On some days volunteers will be integrated in the general work of the school and in addition to that will have the possibility to undertake individual activities, to propose special offers etc. On other days they will be free to propose their own individual activities with children. During the lessons mentioned subsequently, the volunteers will assist the professional pedagogues by helping them find the necessary information and provide some technical support. During all these activities the volunteers will have a chance to find out more about professional education in the school, methods and tools.
