Descriere
SLOW DOWN, WE LOVE YOU! People with learning disabilities have the gift to help people to slow down. They can love people unconditional. What happens if a young volunteer shares his life with these wise people? A miracle. De Ark Vlaanderen (www.ark.vlaanderen) is a community for people with learning disabilities. As ESC-project we invite young people to connect with people with disabilities by sharing meals, having fun together, playing games, working together,… We are part of an international netwerk of L’Arche-communities (www.larche.org). We are looking for 3 new volunteers from September 2023 (a little later is also possible) for the communities in Gent and Antwerp. °Be a volunteer for one year at L’Arche Flanders (Ghent or Antwerp) °Change your heart and your life through the relationships with people with learning disabilities °Free volunteering year offered by European Solidarity Corps, funding program from the European Union
