Team volunteering project in the Netherlands!

Location: Lunteren, Netherlands

Hosting organization: Rock Solid Foundation

Sending organization: “Common Sense” Youth Organization

Purpose of the project: The project is about Ecology. It will last for 4 weeks in the camping area. Most of the job will be helping the local community to clean the beautiful part of the forest, cooking and keeping the place clean with other 40 volunteers from different countries. We want to gather around 40 youngsters for doing this job together, we aim for many participants with fewer opportunities and disabilities (for this not all are eligible, because everyone should be able to walk and work in the forest), because the impact for them is bigger because of their growth in self-esteem. Included in these 40 people are the support staff and helpers and assistants. They will also function as full participants and be a part of the team. We will have some Dutch volunteers involved in this to work side by side on this job. We want the project to last for 4 weeks, because from our experience this is a good period, after these 4 weeks people are starting to get the first irritations and start arguing together. So, to have a bigger impact it is better to stop in time.
