Volunteer questionnaire

Please send your questionnaire ONLY by e-mail and ONLY in .DOC format, thank you.

And next…

Helping to children The volunteer's work depends on the place and year where and when is carried out.

English speaking volunteers can also participate in the project. However, they are obliged to undergo an interview and training similarly as the Czech volunteers. It is essential that they are accompanied by someone who speaks Czech. The staff of children's homes, the nurses and educationists, are not fluent in English. The volunteers shall ensure that the staff understand them. Interviews with psychologist are in Czech as well. Thank you for understanding. The questionnaire needs to be filled in Czech.

For the time being we do not plan to work in other children's homes; the structure of the homes changes approx. every year. Please keep an eye on our web pages. The children's homes which joined the project and no longer participate in it have enough volunteers. We don't cooperate with children's homes in Prague. 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 prospect of choosing a particular child. If you are interested in this form of care you can get more information at www.adopce.com .

"Officially, it is not permitted and only directors of children’s care homes after thorough consideration may issue permission and give somebody the opportunity to become a host - a guide through the life of an older child that can’t be put to any foster care family or adopted and that is abandoned..."
