Romania – community development and support
Volunteer in one of Europe's most beautiful countries — work with a community project, in support of their work to develop Down's Syndrome children to their full potential and to provide support to the families.

Romania is a country of great natural beauty and diversity with a rich cultural heritage — scenic mountain landscapes; unspoilt rural areas; historic cities — but broad economic poverty remains, especially in rural areas and in the south-east of the country. 

Volunteers work with a Romanian charity, founded in 1991, which provides a thoroughly holistic approach to working with Downs children and their families. The programme involves all kinds of help and support – from early counselling for new parents of Downs babies, through assistance with integration into mainstream education, to play therapy and work therapy for youth and adults.

Such a varied programme welcomes a range of volunteer skills and experience — social work; special needs education; occupational therapy; physiotherapy; play therapy; sports, arts, crafts, cookery...

Volunteer in Romania
A variety of Romanian volunteer work projects, including:
Volunteer Child Care at Tutova Hospital

Volunteer Teaching at Middle School #5
Unlike the high school, the middle school is a modest institution with far fewer students and almost no history of working with foreign guests or native English speakers.
Volunteer Teaching at Alexandru Ioan Cuza Industrial High School
This school was originally founded in 1954 as a Vocational School for the Ball Bearings Enterprise of Barlad and used to train skilled workers for three Romanian cities.
