Overcome borders - Grenzen überwinden
Pfarre Hildegard Burjan
Vienna, Austria
Description
We are a Catholic parish in the 15. district of Vienna. We regard our parish work as not limited through any culture, religion, party or nationality. Especially as believers we experience working with all people of good will as an enrichment. One main working area is in various children and youth groups, summer camps and special events to learn solidarity and develop a strong and healthy personality. Apart from this structured youth work our organisation is a link in a system of open youth work in our area. Additionally our organisation takes part in the struggle against poverty and social exclusion, with a project LeO, where poor people can come once a week and buy for the symbolic prize of 4 Euro food and can get social expert advice. We are busy in help for ukrains - providing rooms, cooking weekly for more than 100 people, etc. An extra benefit is the possibility for volunteers to gain experiences in the intercultural and interreligious dialog and measures against loneliness
