Description

Partner: Rio de Oro is a non profit association whose aim is to provide medical care and assistance to Saharawi people, especially kids with different kinds of disabilities (physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental). Saharawi (desert people) lives in refugee camps in the southwest of Algeria. The Sahrawi refugees have survived the great exodus from the Western Sahara: endless marches in the desert in 1975. Rio de Oro was established in 2000 and helps Saharawi people with handicap problems directly in Algeria and in Italy. The main activities of Rio de Oro are: child sponsorship, support to the schools of special education, health care in refugee camps, summer camps and health care in Italy for disabled children (6-14 years old). Website: http://www.riodeoro.it/ Work: The international volunteers will be helping the staff and numerous national volunteers work with Saharawi children (6-14 years old) with different kinds of disabilities (physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental). This means that most of the kids are not self-sufficient. Make and participate to activities for the children (collective games, didactic activities...), feeding them (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks), getting them dressed, changing the diapers, showers, house care (cleaning, cooking ... ). But also we need volunteers to come with a lot of energy to play, push wheelchair, go to the beach with the children. The shifts during the day and also night will be very flexible (to be arranged with the campleader and with local volunteers), so flexibility and adaptability are strongly required. English, Spanish and Italian will be the main languages of the workcamp but any language skill is welcome! Along with English, the main spoken languages usually are: Italian (most of our volunteers are local), Spanish (Western Sahara used to be a Spanish colony before the Moroccan occupation; the leaders that come with the kids are fluent Spanish speakers) and, of course, Hassaniya, the arabic dialect the kids speak. Nevertheless, don’t worry, you will manage to understand the kids, some of them speak Italian or understand Spanish and there will be a lot of interprets to help! Accomodation and food: The international volunteers will be hosted at the primary school in the city centre along with the national volunteers and the children. The school is equipped with: 5 shared bedrooms that will be appropriately separated for girls and boys, and the kids; bathrooms and a shower for each bedroom common bathrooms; dining room; kitchen; common areas: two halls for activities; gardens with games around the building; rooms for the children physical therapy.

Description

Partner: The project was born thanks to the collaboration with the religious congregation “Sisters Servants of Divine Providence”, founded in Catania (Sicily) in 1921 by Maria Marletta. Along nearly a century the service carried out by even a small religious family has seen many results, of healthy growth for many children and young people who have not chosen to live on the edge and that only by difficulties related to the family of origin, have the bitter experience of not belonging to anyone.

The objective of the workcamp is to complete the construction of a nature trail made of wooden toys, in order to equip an area of an ancient abandoned farm as a playground for children and adults. We will carry on with the reconstruction of paths and walls that are falling down, of benches and tables to be arranged under the oaks, to offer some relaxing areas for the sharing moments among the guests. We will place in the soil some berries plants, so that the guests that will live in the farm will be able to transform the fruits themselves. Our aim is to create a social farm, that in the future could accomodate a residential community of young people at risk of exclusion, or who feels the need of a social recovery. In the farm, through the rural work experience, they will gradually experience a restoration of their human dignity. Through personalized routes, in a natural environment, they will find reasons to live and hope for a better future. Work: This workcamp will hopefully pave the way for more projects that aim to restructure, through the gift of a collective work, some parts of the old farm, such as the winery and other structures, half-destroyed by different upheavals of vulcanic nature.
