Volunteer in an Orphanage in Bulgaria

would like to share a video, The Cedar Foundation 2009, regarding the amazing work of one of our partner organizations, The Cedar Foundation, whose project focuses on deinstitutionalizing orphanages in Bulgaria. Isla is currently recruiting volunteers and interns for The Cedar Foundation for the Spring and Summer 2010.

Isla has identified the need for care workers with a background in therapy as well as individuals who can train care workers in home for children and adults with moderate to severe mental disabilities in methods and practices in Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Art or Music Therapy or Behavioral Management. This need is suitable to a longer term volunteer/intern.

For the Short Term Volunteer, such as a summer experience abroad, Isla seeks applicants with a background in Youth Development and Education to work, teach, and play with the children. Applicant's experience may include working with children as a camp or after-school counselor or a local community experience working with youth, teaching, youth groups, etc.
