2007-DK-28 Hertha Living Community
1 place starting 15th February 2009 for 12 months
The main activity for the volunteer will be to take part in the workshops according to interests and specific knowledge and experiences. We will need extra hands mainly in the bakery, dairy and biodynamic greenery but the other works shops will also be an option. The volunteer will work on 2-3 different workshops throughout the week and year according to the needs. The volunteer will not be the responsible for the workshops, but will play an important role in supporting and assisting the handicapped to perform the tasks they have. If the volunteer has a driving license, he/she will be in charge of being a
chauffeur to different activities. If of interest, the volunteer can take part in drama activities where the mentally handicapped put up small theater plays based on fairytales, if playing an instrument, we
would like them to play this during the morning gatherings (We have a piano, cello and different other instruments- or bring your own)
Volunteers will only work with the less handicapped and challenging handicapped.
