Asylum seekers centre of Sugny
ASSOCIATION DES COMPAGNONS BATISSEURS
MARCHE-EN-FAMENNE, Belgium
Description
The Fedasil reception centre for international protection seekers in Sugny welcomes people who have applied for asylum in Belgium. But before they can feel truly settled in Belgium and allowed to build their future here, their refugee status must be proven and accepted through a long administrative process. While waiting for the documents that will allow them to stay legally in our country, applicants for international protection are housed in this centre. The people living there are waiting for an answer about their administrative status. They never know what tomorrow might bring. This project is based on a dynamic encounter between the volunteers and the residents of the centre. Numerous activities with the children will be organised by and with the volunteers. At the same time, with the help of a technical coordinator, the volunteers and the residents will work together to maintain the outside areas, do some gardening work, carry out small painting tasks
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
You will be accommodated at the centre, in a common room or in rooms of 4, with all amenities (showers, toilets, etc.). You will share the same living conditions as the residents, which are very basic. Volunteers will cook their own meals at set times.
Participant profile
We warn the volunteers that the consumption of alcohol is strictly forbidden inside the centre. It is necessary be able to listen to others. This kind of workcamp is a very rich personal and human experience. It makes people aware of the complexity of certain social conditions related to the great inequalities on our planet. In order to demonstrate this, we ask the candidate volunteers: - to answer our specific questionnaire (if you do not have it yet, please ask it to your sending organization) - to send us a criminal record related to work with children
