Volunteers help students to focus during classes, to move around, to eat. they assist during the school trips and walks outside the school building.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
Volunteers stay in the flats rent by IB Polska. They share double rooms. Every flat has common bathroom and kitchen. Flats are located in different parts of Krakow. Volunteers get the card for the public transport inside the city. In the beginning of every month volunteers receive pocket money and food allowance.
Training during the activity
