The project
Tur Cos Ta Posibel collaborates with different social welfare organisations on Aruba: KIA (the national prison), EPB College, Funari and Sonrisa, organisations who work with physical and mentally disabled people of different ages and Stiching Hunto, a reality that supports people undergoing drug/ alcohol rehabilitation.
Social work volunteers will support the ‘added value work in these institutions’, working alongside core staff and volunteers to support clients, often by using sport, art, dance and yoga. Volunteers will plan and deliver the here mentioned activities in accordance with their skills, knowledge and interest.
In addition to this work Tur Cos Ta Posibel supports other local community groups, that are not strictly social welfare organisations ; there is an element of social welfare to our work supporting children, young people and their families experiencing social issues.
Accommodation and meals
Volunteers will live in a shared house with other international participants. Rooms will be shared for volunteer groups and long-term ESC volunteers will either have an individual room or a room shared with one other participant.
Volunteers will receive a weekly food allowance as well as a general kitty to be able to buy food and household necessities either individually or as a group.
The accommodation is well located, 5 minutes walk from a local beach and with all the appliances and equipment needed for self catering and learning to cook the local food.
There is a shared car and 4 bikes which can be used by volunteers.
