Resumo: The office is situated in western part of Latvia, in one of the largest town in Latvia. Historically our town had a very mixed population-latvians, russians, lithuanians and some other minority groups. There are a lot of people who belongs to so called "risk group"-disatvantaged children from Orphanage, poor families, children with disabilities. The city also has one of the largest blind people communities in Latvia. People are very friendly and welcoming against other cultures. City itself consist of some regions. As example-former Soviet army secret base-Naval Port.

During the first years of independence all the poorest people were send to live here. But in the same time, this is one of the most active region. Youth and childrens from mixed nationalities live here together and very eager to take part in any activities organized by locals or foreigners.
We have 2 main activities centres.

Our office is situated in one of the bigest and most inhabitated areas in the city. There are block houses around and very good public transport connection with the central part of town. The sea is a 3 min walk from our office and the surroundings is very green. So this is a perfect place for outdoor activities. A 5 min walk from the office is an old fortification system, with small knolls, forest etc.

Our second activity centre-Karosta is located in rural part of the city. There is a wonderful nature and big park in the front of the centre. We plan to renovate this place for every person can find something for himself. There will be another brunch of our office, space for activities, even a small gym for physical activities. We have space for 2 small rooms where volunteers can live in comfort. Also we will have kitchen, where we plan to provide local poor children with some food. Karosta itself is very wonderful and green place. Seaside is 10 min walk, surrounded by forests-ideal place for grow-up.

The city is non-official free-minded people town of Latvia. From here come varoius musicians, artists, painters, sportists. The town offers a wide range of cultural and social activities. Films are shown in many languages in the cinema, many diverse events take place and many opportunities for doing different sports are given. Various styles of pubs, clubs and restaurants are open to a wide spectrum of people. This gives any young person the possibility to choose between the activities he/she likes and to meet nice people.
The volunteers will share their time with the group of children and youth in the organization and children and youth from different part of the city.

Tarefas: Project aim is to teach practical english language in schools for kids. For that we need volunteers with normal english skills. I really mean normal, not advanced level, because this is practical work with non formal methods, and main idea is just to communicate with kids, not teach them grammar. Besides that work, we are also plan that they run some activities in office as workshops, intercultural evenings etc. If there will be interest, maybe also your native language courses for people. In June ( last month) those the volunteer gonna run summer activities as camps and workshops.
