The Children who Waited
Start date: Dec 1, 2013,

Volunteers from 4 Programme Countries - Lithuania, Denmark, United Kingdom, France and Poland - will come to Armenia to 4 Host Organisations working in the children field. The main stress of these organisations is supporting children that have certain issues with inclusion in the society and/or profound need of support. The target group consists of orphans and children with physical/mental disabilities or diseases, who more than others need care and support.The main objective of this project is non-formal education of these children, their moral support and help in their becoming full and independent members of society. Therefore, the volunteer has a very unique role of elder tutor-friend, who they can take a lot from. The activities with children will be held in semi-formal or non-formal way. The edutainment process may be held through games, active energizers, cultural and intercultural activities letting children to gain certain skills and competences, as sculpting, painting, different songs, basic knowledge of photography and theatrical art. They will support in therapies for the children in institutions. Volunteers are encouraged also to lead discussions on different themes, teach the children basic language etc.It is of vital importance for the volunteer to be integrated in the project. There is a set of preliminary goals such as foreseen performance/concert/exhibition of things done with children, but it is also anticipated that within the project KID volunteers would create their own sub-projects, which will let them improve their entrepreneurial skills and make their experience as EVS unique and individual.During all the activities the volunteer will receive active support from HUJ, Host Organisation and their mentors.
