Ankara is considered as one of the most "serious" cities of Turkey, since it hosts the parliament and many politicians. This brings the mood of stable life into the city. However, by being the capital and having a huge student population Ankara has a very colorful night life as well. Our volunteers live in a flat next to Gazi campus in a safe district in a very peaceful area. It is in the center of Ankara so it is easy to go everywhere by metro, by bus and also on foot. The volunteers share a big flat with 3 rooms, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom and 1 toilet. The flat is well equipped, they have all the necessary things to live in comfort Gazi mahallesi is a safe and peaceful area but also lively because it is the district in which different universities (Gazi University, Ankara University) are located. Most of the faculties of Gazi university are here. There is a big variety of places where you can spend your free time. Nice coffees, restaurants and green parks. Come and enjoy! 4 EURODESK LOCAL CONTACT POINT GAZİ UNIVERSITY (TR066) Projects ; HOSPITAL (2011-TR-21) Gazi University Foundation Hospital is situated in Ankara, in Yenimahalle and within 15 min. of walking distance to the EVS flat. In this hospital one floor is completely dedicated to the treatment of children, so in additionally to the normal treatment rooms there is also a very nice playroom and a little hospital school. Our volunteers will play a key role in those two rooms, in the playroom they will draw play and have fun with our youngest patients and they are more than welcome to contribute with their own ideas to create new activities for the kids. The hospital school is particularly important, especially for those kids who have to endure long-term stays due to serious illnesses, such as cancer. Our volunteers will meet the explicit needs of the children giving them Mathematic, Science, Social and especially English lessons according to their level of education. The hospital school is equipped with all the tools that will be needed and there are also two teachers who will support our volunteers in every possible way.Receiving this schooling will make it easier for those kids to find their way back into a normal daily routine after they have completed their treatment. Also children will enjoy the contact with our foreign volunteers very much as it is a special opportunity for them to be in touch with the big wide world even though most of them are tied to their beds. Another activity in the hospital will be visiting the rooms and in this way not only adding new faces to the dull hospital every-day-life of the kids but also interact with the parents who usually spend just as much time inside those rooms.Cutting it short we want our volunteers to give our patients and their families motivation, make them smile and make them feel positive again.We are open to all new ideas, for example our last volunteers initiated a clown day. One day a week they come dressed up as clowns distribute balloons and joke around – the kids absolutely love it! Who are we looking for? It would be very good if the applicant is studying or has graduated from any department of health, or has some practical experience concerning hospital work however it is not a must! 5 EURODESK LOCAL CONTACT POINT GAZİ UNIVERSITY (TR066) SCHOOL (2011-TR-22) Gazi Foundation Primary school is located in Maltepe, 30 min by walk from EVS flat.
