The goal is to allow 2 young European to have a memorable and exciting experience of volunteering within a well-known organization where staff and volunteers work alongside in order to relieve isolation and loneliness which is growing among the elderly in our modern societies. They will be part of the team of La Seyne and will contribute to our main general activities: - Visiting program (home or nursing home visits, phone calls...) - Organise social projects (special events, cultural activities) - Participate in communication and raising awarness for the cause - Participate in finding new volunteers and elderly They will also work together to accomplish a common project: creating a « book » of activities that can be done in the surroundings with the elderly or creating a communication tool to promote the action of the team...

Testimonies:• Paula (from Spain) who was EVS volunteer in 2015-2016: "If I were to sum up this very good experience, I would say just one word: sharing! What I like the most with les petits frères des Pauvres organisation is the way they treat the elderly, the proximity they create with them, just as if they were our own grand-parents".
• Antoine, volunteer team leader of La Seyne: "We look forward to receive EVS volunteers because they will bring us their envy, their different approach to seeing things and new ideas!" Tõlgi
