SECOND VOLUNTEERS PROJECT 2025
The Volunteer Project involves the creation of a group of young people who, for three weeks, choose to engage in a training-experiential camp through a path of personal growth.
The volunteer encounters a different world, that of the street children of Soddo in Ethiopia, relating to them and coming into contact with another culture, acquiring the basis for being able to observe the reality that surrounds him from other perspectives.
The aim is to excite and make aware those young people who want to experience a different path towards the perception that another lifestyle is possible. The experience lived in a group allows you to own and share the emotions you experience, processing them together. The group is accompanied by a tutor, who will train the volunteers on the field, helping them to find tools with which to deepen the experience they are living.
The project is aimed at all young people aged between 18 and 26 and will take place at Busajo Campus in the city of Soddo, in the Wolayta region of Ethiopia, from 01 to 23 August 2025 (3 weeks).
To register: you must send a brief CV, then participate in a preliminary and selective interview. After the registration, volunteers are required to participate in 3 training meetings, very important to get to know the other participants and start to build the group, to understand the experience that they will face, to plan the activities and to get information on the precautions to be taken.
The volunteer is asked to leave with the open state of mind of experiencing something new, being respectful, humbly knowing how to listen and observe, wishing to: get involved, start up relationships, be part of a group and work as a team, give and receive emotions, make your personal skills available, compare notes.
A basic knowledge of the English language is recommended.
