Resumo: The hosting organization is located in a small (10 000 citizens), picturesque town, surrounded by forests, with a beautiful lake in the very centre of it. Thanks to geographic values, our small town is quite attractive for tourists, but it isn't any special place as for possibilities of progress or attractive forms of spending free time. It is just one of many small polish towns. Sometimes one can hear voices saying "how boring is here". Maybe it's true, but it can be boring for those, who are sitting at home in front of TV and who don't care what can be changed in their lives - and that's truth as well. Living in a small town doesn't mean the lack of great possibilities. Choice - that's the key word. One can lock himself in four walls and start complaining, another can focus on his aims and do everything to reach it, treating it as sort of challenge, possibility of development and a chance for a better tomorrow. All is needed is wanting it.

There is many things going on in the town, if one ask about helping other people in general. There is a residence of Occupational Therapy Workshops for disabled people, Therapeutic Day-room for children having difficult entourages, Culture and Art Centre offering more and more interesting and notable art activities and finally Young Creators' Club, which shows its presence in Sêpólno very markedly, organizing all sorts of after-school activities for youngsters. Its commitment is to drag Sepolno's streets and citizens away from "greyness" and day-to-day routine from time to time as well. Happenings on the streets and paratheatrical performances causes loud comments about the club in town, and to this small, polish town like ours we would like to invite volunteers from other countries again. It's been five years now, since EVS volunteers are involved in a work in aid of wards of "Adults for Children" Association as well as local community. They bringing their own ideas to life, joining in to the action, developing new friendships. And after finished projects they coming back to us, to the city - and this is the best evidence that it's not the place but the people are the most important. The presence of EVS volunteers the city - small point on the map of Europe - is the point full of life, full of energy. It's a place where one can develop and make his dreams and passions come true. The doors of "Adults for Children" Association are always open for young, creative and adventurous people, who aren't scared of challenges and who wants to do something useful for themselves as well as for others. Five years of experience in EVS enriched our knowledge and outlook on the world enough to make every volunteer feel here as it was their home.

Activity of the volunteers is first and foremost working in above establishments, but not only that. Another important element of their activity is commitment to the actions, whom main target is to deepen a sense of European citizenship as well as promotion of activities related to EVS and 'Youth In Action' program. We are planning to conduct meetings with a youth from local schools, happenings, exhibitions etc. It will be a good occasion to exchange experiences, to promote EVS and 'Youth In Action' Programme and to present volunteers' culture in local community.

We are very flexible and open in terms of volunteers' ideas, for example they can create own classes or prepare some event together with our target groups' members. Moreover volunteers will have possibility to choose one kind of activity (work in particular institution mentioned above) or more. They can choose in which establishment they want to work more and in which less. It depends only on volunteer's expectations, willingness, ideas etc.
