Resumo: * The hosting organization is part of an international community of people with and without disabilities, who live and work together. This Charta says that every person has a unique importance. We have contacts to many communities abroad (primary Germany).
* The hosting organization was founded in 1992 and is a Christian – ecumenical community. In our daily routine there is place for spirituality. The work in the organization considers the UN convention for people with disabilities.
* At the moment 10 people are living in two houses.
* The organization welcomes people with disabilities at the age of 18. At the moment, four people with mental und multiple disabilities live in the organization. The organization calls them “core-members”. Our main philosophy is not only nursing, but also offering a community, personal relationships and a home.
* there is a workshop, where our mobile core-members work. They produce candles, potteries, paper and bags. We sell these products. There is a “basal group” for our core-members with multiple disabilities. In this group we try to support our core-members in their cognition and self-awareness.
* The main tasks are care/nursing, household and creating a familiar and welcoming atmosphere for our core-members. In order to reach this goal, we share life and work, sing and celebrate together and try to organize joyful and exciting days for our core-members. Household contains for example cooking, tidying up, doing the laundry and cleaning up. We offer our core-members a comprehensive daily life. So we have many weekly leisure activities. Volunteers accompany our core-members (for example: dancing, swimming, hiking...).

The role of the volunteer will be working with our core-members, caring for them. The volunteer accompanies their daily life. He/She can help them in several situations - changing clothes, hygiene, eating, managing morning routine, free time, workshop, cooking, going to bed etc....

Our team gives the volunteer time to get to know our core-members and the other way round also. Slowly the volunteer will take over more and more responsibility. We try to create a balance to encourage the volunteer while not demanding too much. Our volunteer can discover his/her potential and we are open for new ideas and opportunities. Communication is the key.

All common facilities can be used by the volunteer (kitchen, living areas, laundry room…). The volunteer has to accept the house rules.
