Coordinating organization: Rock-Solid Foundation
Sending organization: “Common Sense” Youth Organization
Purpose of the project:
We would like to welcome you as a worker in the social restaurant / hostel in Lunteren and for everything that is needed in our foundation. Our restaurant has different aspects that make it social:
– First of all, it is giving a opportunity for international volunteers to gain work experience and learn a lot in the management of a restaurant.
– We run a quality food restaurant, but for lower prices because we are non- profit, therefore more people can afford to go to a real restaurant and not only to a fast-food places for example.
– We are teaching you (or maybe the others because you already know) how to try to be as sustainable as possible, by separating garbage, but also by the choices
We made for the restaurant and still discover together what can be improved.
– We promote the idea of shared tabling, which means that people who are alone or lonely or just like to meet new people sharing the same table.
– We will not put “time pressure” on the guests, if they like to stay for a chat or a listening ear, we want to be there for them!
– We connect our volunteers in this way with the local community and because of that we are doing a lot of promotion of the E+ and ESC opportunities for young people
– We will try to use your other talents, maybe you are gifted in project writing, or in helping with final reports, or making schedules etc. etc.
During the ESC Voluntary year, volunteers will focus on learning the differences in the society regarding this work field. Next to that, they will try to motivate local youngsters as well as clients from the organizations to participate in national and international projects, such as youth exchanges and training courses. Also, they will learn how to improve the conditions in their own country, step by step, after going back home. They will be actively involved in the different activities of Rock Solid, on local and regional level. The volunteers will also attend Dutch classes for foreigners.
