Opis
“Youth for Smile”, in partnership with a local NGO, is revitalising the former orphanage building in Lauderi village and transforming it into a centre for non-formal education and community activities.

Your Tasks and Activities Outdoor Area Maintenance (approx. 4 hectares) The area surrounding the former orphanage is about 4 hectares large. Volunteers will help: Mow the grass Clear bushes and overgrown areas Clean and organise the territory This work is essential to make the area safe, accessible, and ready for future community use.
Smještaj, hrana i prijevoz
Volunteers will stay in a rural house close to the project site. Beds will be provided, but living conditions are simple and basic. The accommodation reflects the rural environment and offers an authentic experience close to nature. Please be prepared for modest comfort and a shared living space. This is part of the experience of simple and environmentally conscious living. Meals will be prepared by the volunteers themselves in a shared kitchen. Cooking will be organised in small teams, encouraging cooperation, responsibility, and teamwork.
Osposobljavanje tijekom aktivnosti
The local community is currently not very active, and hosting international volunteers is also a new experience for them. One of our aims is to gently encourage the start of dialogue and cooperation. Together with volunteers, we will take the first steps toward building communication with local residents — through small meetings, informal conversations, and shared moments. This is an important social aspect of the project, alongside the physical renovation work. This workcamp is not only about practical tasks, but also about creating connections — with the place, with its history.
