Paraplegics & Quadraplegics Camp
Description: The volunteers will support paraplegics and tetraplegics (members of our association). During the camp, we will organize some tours around the Bela Krajina and Dolenjska regions. During the weekend, we will attend the folk festival "Šemiška ohcet," where we will have a stand in the center of town to present the volunteers' countries, so please bring presentation materials. Also, if you have any abilities (singing, playing an instrument, etc.), please let us know so we can include you in the program. Each volunteer will also make a presentation about their country during the themed evenings in the house. There is an extra fee of 50€ that needs to be paid by volunteers coming from partner organizations.
Type of Work: The volunteers will help paraplegics and tetraplegics (members of our association). Their main job will be preparing meals and taking care of house cleanliness. Also, they will talk with members and spend time together, playing chess and cards. The volunteers will not need to help our members with personal hygiene or any other "personal" tasks.
Study Theme: The volunteers will learn about problems of day to day life of our members.
Accommodation: The volunteers will be accommodated in a house together with our members (women have separate rooms).
Language: We will use slovenian and english language.
Requirements: The association prefers people with backgrounds in the humanities; we would also be glad to accept a paraplegic or any other handicapped person who is a wheelchair user.
Notes: Our association gathers members who use wheelchairs; therefore, we will arrange accessible accommodation and transport, food (please report any preferences, allergies, or dietary restrictions before you arrive), and other necessities. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, but we might make an exception occasionally. If you have any questions (anything at all), you can ask our camp leader, Rok, at rok.bratovz@durstvo-para-lj.si; he'll be more than glad to help you.
