UAA008 - SUMMER WITH ENGLISH

Dates: 21st June -04th July
Type: Kids / teens placement.
About the Project: Sports summer center “Boyko school” is situated in a picturesque place 30 km from Kharkiv, eastern part of Ukraine. The Center was founded in 1987 on the territory of the former duke’s estate. On the territory of the Center there is a pond with a lot of fish – so you can go fishing there. There are also stables with 12 horses, a riding school for children. The camp hosts about 200 children at a time.
Terminal: Kharkiv.
Work: Every volunteer together with two Ukrainian leaders will take care of 15-20 teenagers. The main task of the volunteers will be to help in organising everyday life of the camp and leisure time activities, such as workshops, sport competitions, contests, activities connected with culture, history, traditions of the volunteers’ countries. The volunteers will also assist teachers to teach English in the course of lessons. We expect from volunteers new ideas and enthusiasm in organising children’s leisure time to make it meaningful and useful. Every volunteer must be ready to help children in organising the Day of Culture of the volunteer’s country (national games, songs, dances, recipes of the national food – should be easy to cook!). 6 hours a day, 6 working days a week.
