  • Description

    Description

    We operate a NGO in Cisnadie, Romania. Our charity provides help to the poor and underprivileged. We do relief work in the Roma villages and operate shelters/accommodations for those who find themselves in need of such. We need help with cleaning and maintaining our shelter homes. Cleaning is always a big need, but we can also use people who can do construction and general maintenance too. Additionally, we also we need help with our relief work in the Roma villages. Volunteers will either stay at one of our shelter homes, or with our family - in our personal home. We have a guest quarters at our home where we can host volunteers. We actually prefer our volunteers to stay at our personal home, as we feel they get a better cultural experience this way. Please note, we have a large family so there are many kids running around all the time. You will have your room to retire to where you can relax and have quiet. ​At times you may need to share a room with another volunteer or you may have the room all to yourself. It just depends on how many volunteers we are hosting at the time.
