Шередарь: реабилитационная программа для подростков от 13 до 17 лет, перенесших тяжелые заболевания
Сосновый Бор, Россия Working with kids
"Шередарь" Благотворительный фонд
На наших реабилитационных программах мы помогаем детям и подросткам, столкнувшимся с тяжелым заболеванием, вернуть себе радость жизни и уверенность в собственных силах. Мы помогаем им увидеть, что они могут гораздо больше, чем привыкли думать за время болезни.
Каждый день смены в «Шередаре» наполнен интересными событиями. Дети участвуют в активных занятиях (катание на лошадях, стрельба из лука, прохождение веревочного парка), а также занимаются в творческих мастерских (мульт-студия, фотография, рукоделие). Это позволяет им отвлечься от тяжелых воспоминаний, выразить себя и осознать, как много всего у них отлично получается! Наши вожатые (мы их называем шери - от слова "Шередарь") и руководители кружков (мастера) всегда поддерживают ребенка, создавая дружескую атмосферу и помогая ему обрести уверенность в собственных силах, медицинские волонтеры гарантируют заботу о здоровье наших подопечных, а фотографы помогают запечатлеть все счастливые моменты смены.
Type of work
1. Волонтеры-вожатые (шери), а также медицинские волонтеры проживают с детьми в одном коттедже и сопровождают их на мастерские и вечерние мероприятия. В одной команде может быть от 3 до 5 шери на 8-10 детей. Что важно для шери:
- поддерживать детей и вовлекать их во все активности лагеря;
- создавать физически и эмоционально безопасную среду для детей;
- организовывать свободное время своей команды.
- контроль приема препаратов (медики)
2. Волонтеры-мастера проживают отдельно от детей. Во время смены:
- подготавливают и ведут мастерские для детей;
- участвуют в подготовке и проведении вечерних мероприятий;
- создают и поддерживают командную атмосферу среди детей, волонтеров и в лагере в целом.
3. Волонтеры-фотографы проживают отдельно от детей. Во время смены:
- подготавливают фотоматериалы смены для детей и родителей;
- подготавливают отчет для партнеров фонда.
Conditions
Для волонтеров проводится обучающий тренинг. По итогам тренинга и программы все участники получают сертификат о прохождении теоретического курса по реабилитационному терапевтическому отдыху детей.
Волонтерам предоставляется бесплатное проживание в уютных деревянных коттеджах, трёхразовое питание, трансфер из Москвы и Владимира до лагеря и обратно.
А также участие в проекте может быть засчитано студентам (направления подготовки уточняйте у координаторов) как практическая работа по специальности.
Для участия в смене необходимо:
- получить справку об отсутствии судимости (заказать ее можно на портале "Госуслуги" в электронном виде - это бесплатная услуга);
- иметь медицинскую книжку для работы в сезонных детских и подростковых учреждениях.

Type of work
The aim of these projects is to provide operational support to under-resourced childcare centers, while fostering a two-way cultural exchange between international volunteers, children and staff.
The project are well-suited to those with a warm, caring nature and a passion for working with children. You’ll play an important role in working alongside local staff to improve children’s educational and emotional needs, so no experience is necessary.

These centers can be overcrowded and underfunded so the extra help volunteers can give is highly valued. Volunteers gain experience teaching and caring for young children and support local staff so they are better able to focus on providing quality care and education.
Energetic volunteers who love children and can keep up with them in a lively atmosphere. A background in childcare is not required as you will be working alongside local staff.

Misión México - Children's Refuge
Tapachula, Mexico Working with kids
Coordinator Volunteer
Misión México provides a loving, secure home for children and young adults of all ages who have been abused, neglected, orphaned or abandoned.
Children and young adults are referred to us by the Government Welfare Department and we provide a loving and stable home for them for as long as they need it. The number of children and young adults in our care changes constantly, but on average we care for between 30 and 40 children on a permanent basis.
Almost all of the children and young adults have suffered extreme poverty and abuse. Some have experienced unspeakable violence.
Since it was established in 2001, Misión México has helped transform the lives of more than 250 children, giving them a much deserved second chance at life. All are regaining a sense of confidence and self respect having found Misión México.
The refuge resembles a family home rather than an institution, where the children feel loved and secure. The children attend school, which some of them have not experienced before. They also have access to tutors to help with their studies, and access to education psychologists and therapists.
The children are also learning to swim and surf and are the only surfers in Tapachula! Surfing is a previously unknown activity in the area, yet it has become a uniquely transforming sporting activity for these children.
Our surfing programme is being introduced to enable the kids to find confidence in themselves and a belief that they can achieve anything they want.

Type of work
Living at Misión México is an intense but wonderful time for volunteers. We cover every day from 5.30am until 9.30pm (split into no more than eight hour shifts) and are responsible for helping with the daily running of the refuge - such as wake-up, chore supervision, homework, meal supervision, getting ready for school, bed-time and other activities like sport, art and craft or whatever skill you want to bring to the house.
We need people who are loving but can also discipline the children. These children come to us from a history of abuse, neglect and poverty. Part of their education with us is not only going to school, but also learning how to be respectful, look after their things and learn to live with others as a family. It is important to stress that this isn't a holiday but a busy work time for volunteers, but it is so rewarding and you will walk away from here with so much love for the children. Volunteers will have at least one full day off every week to rest.
Conditions
Our contribution fee is set at 4000 Mexican pesos (approx. 150 GBP) and payment of the fee is to be made on arrival, in local currency, if your application is successful. The contribution fee covers the costs associated with our volunteer accommodations and administration. This includes, but is not limited to, the cost of electricity, maintenance and one meal a day for volunteers (eaten with the children at lunch time).

Make A Wish for Street & Slum Kids
Ajmer, India Working with kids
A wonderful initiative to share happiness among street and slum children has been taken in Ajmer by Rajasthan Samgrah Kalyan Sansthan, with the support of Global Giving Foundation. Under this project, nutritious food, toys, sweets, new dress, chocolates are provided to street and slum children.
Efforts are taken continuously to enlighten the life of these unlucky children by means of fireworks, colors, water-guns, cake, etc on the occasion of festivals as Christmas, Diwali, Holi.
Demand of the Project
The life of slum and street children is surrounded by darkness. The sense of alienation of society leads them to get involved into immoral acts as theft, addiction, prostitution. Happiness is miles away from these children. They hardly get two meals a day. These unlucky and helpless children can never think of delicious food, toys, new clothes even in their dreams.
The society just gets them abuse, exploitation and the sense of alienation only which develops exasperation towards the society in their hearts. Lack of food leads them to suffer from malnutrition. Moreover, there life is full of darkness even on the occasions of festivals. Altogether, these slum and street children live their life in darkness staying miles away from happiness of childhood.
Make A Wish Program is Fulfilling the Dreams of those marginalized children living in the remote areas.
Type of work
The Volunteers can do a Photography session or make documentary videos of all the work which we are doing with the marginalized people. We also have farming programs, so to educate the rural people about better farming techniques would be beneficial.
