Vereinigung Junger Freiwilliger

Beschreibung:
Work: Volunteers will help mentally challenged people from 18 to 75 years old in their works producing woodwork, ceramics or fabric crafts and enjoy these activities together. Volunteers are expected to join them in their creative activities, such as painting, craft and music as well as recreational activities. Volunteers will also help the school staff in various duties to carry on daily routines. Basic Japanese skill would be helpful, however it is not the must, because most of them do not speak well. What are necessary here are broad-mindedness, friendliness and smile. Volunteers with strong interest in Japanese culture and welfare are welcome. Bringing some items representing each participant's country is fully encouraged for cultural activities. A Motivation letter will be welcomed for application. Location: Hokkaido, where the town of Kenbuchi is located, is the biggest and northernmost prefecture in Japan. It is also known as the 21st largest island in the world with abundant nature and a number of national parks. Hokkaido attracts millions of tourists from other regions in Japan not only by the vast wilderness the island possesses but also by its breezy, dry climate in summer and the mountain ranges covered by beautiful crystal powder in winter. Kenbuchi is a small town with the population of 4000 located in north central part of the prefecture. The nearest airport is Chitose, and from there it roughly takes 1 hour to get to the town by public transportation. Volunteers may fly over there via either Narita or Kansai International Airport. Direct flights from Korea to Chitose are also available. Partner: Kenbuchi Nishihara Gakuen is a school for mentally challenged people founded in 1980 as "a place where everyone gets together". This school has workshops for productive or creative activities such as processing agricultural products, ceramic art, woodwork, fabric craft and so on in order to support those people to have better link with the local society.
