Description:

Tiszadob is a small, isolated village in the bank of Tisza river, in one of the poorest areas of Hungary, with nice surroundings and noticable cultural heritage. In the Child Protection Centre where the camp takes place there are around 90 youngsters living together from various age groups, mainly teenagers of gypsy origin. For more then a decade there is an SCI camp organized in the children's home every summer, which is traditionally preceded by great enthusiasm and high expectations. For the inhabitants the camp is a unique opportunity to get in contact with people from abroad. Since the volunteers will be spending the most of the time with these children, motivation and interest in working with disadvantaged youngsters is expected from them. The other important purpose of the camp is to show the youngsters an example of disciplined and labour-of-love inspired work. This year the volunteers will be also going to Tiszalök, a village nearby, where they will be working in the garden of the home of mentally disabled kids. Due to the long tradition of the camp, the international volunteers are always warmly welcome, the leisure activities are well organized and diverse.
