The project takes place in 2 different towns, which are 20 km apart: Mărăşeşti and Focşani. Our target groups are subject to the same risk of social exclusion, but have different profiles, so we intend to unfold the activities as follows:

- 4 volunteers to work with children and youngsters (6-18 years) with fewer opportunities facing educational difficulties, social and economic difficulties, Roma children, in 2 schools from Mărăşeşti town.
The project takes place in 2 different towns, which are 20 km apart: Mărăşeşti and Focşani.

- support in coordinating local volunteers willing to get involved in activities with disadvantaged children and youth;
- writing weekly reports/articles where they describe their volunteer experience.
Volunteer profile
- We are looking for volunteers who are dynamic, creative, sociable, willing to spend time with children and patient in working with them;
- The volunteers should be 18 -30 years old and should not have bad habits;
- They should be motivated, willing to learn Romanian, able to work in a team, be flexible and creative and open to different cultures. The volunteers should have a non-discriminatory attitude.
Food and Accommodation:

Volunteers will receive a monthly food allowance of 100 Euro and a monthly allowance of 60 Euro in form of “pocket money”.
