Follow-up „For a Better Chance“ Project
From 08.07 to 13.07.2011 in the center for children and youths „Oasis“ in Kazanlak there was a voluntary camp, where the two EVS volunteers performed the follow-up for the Don Bosko Bulgaria project „For a Better Chance“.
There were two aims. The first one was the youths from the camp to be informed about the idea of volunteering and the possibilities that the program „Youth in Action“ offers.
The second aim was the perticipants to do voluntary work during the meeting to have some experience that could help them during the discussions.
Thus we attempted to make a more vivid and colorful picture. Several hours per day the participants were working. After that, they had meetings with the two EVS Czech volunteers Marketa Obruchova and Monika Petruhova, who shared their experience from the project and from the Czech Republic. The participants were also watching movies about volunteering.
During the last day of the meeting, there were also invited representatives of other organizations. Tose who came were teams from „Samaritans“, Stara Zagora, from „Youth Development Center – Mutual Aid“, Kazanlak and Salesians of Don Bosco in Bulgaria.
The two girls represented their ten months work with pictures and words and tried to show the intensity of their work with a stage game that demonstrated how multitask should be the EVS volunteers sometimes.
After the game, there was a movie, made by the sending organisation SADBA (Chech), which demonstrated their work style, the way they prepare volunteers and the multitude of their volunteers.
The meeting ended with giving some advertising materials – T-shirts and a snack, where the participants could have more informal communication.
