Beschreibung
Join us in Latvia for 14 days of meaningful action! “Prepare the Joy” is a volunteering team project where 8 young people (4 from Latvia, 4 from abroad) will come together to plan inclusive Christmas events for children from orphanages and disadvantaged families. You’ll help with contacting partners, preparing invitations, developing the event concept, and creating decorations — everything needed to make this holiday season special for over 300 children.
Some Latvian volunteers were part of these events as kids — now they return to give back. This project is about real solidarity, teamwork, creativity and making a difference that matters.
