How You Can Help to Abandoned Children

Information For Future Volunteers

Bank with children shoes An English speaking volunteer can participate in the project. However, he is obliged to undergo for an interview and training as well as the Czech volunteers. It is essential he would be accompanied by someone who speaks Czech language. The staff of children homes, the nurses and educators, is not fluent in English. The volunteer shall be able to make himself understood. The interviews with psychologist are hold in Czech as well. Thank you for understanding. To fill the questionnaire in Czech is inevitable.

Now we are looking for volunteers for homes in above mentioned locations only (i.e. As, Karlovy Vary, Kašperské Hory). We are not planning joining other homes now, structure of the homes is changing approx. every year. Please watch our web pages. Homes, which have been joined to the project and they are not any more, have enough volunteers and therefore we don't provide any cooperation any more! We don't provide any cooperation in Prague's children homes! Thank you for understanding.

Volunteers who are interested in adoption or foster care can be admitted to the project but it is never possible with the view of choosing a potential child. If you are interested in this form of care you can get more information on www.adopce.com .
