Volunteering in an orphanage "WG Bagger" in Leipzig
The children’s home groups ‘WG Am Bagger’ of International Bund (IB) are located in Thekla, a district of Leipzig, not far from the lake ‘Bagger’. There are 19 children, teenagers and young adults living in three residential groups at our centre. https://www.internationaler-bund.de/standort/211567 For various reasons, they are unable to live with their parents. We offer them a home for a certain period of time without claiming to be a substitute for a parental home. The task of the volunteer is to support the children and young people in everyday matters, such as leisure activities inside and outside the centre, doing their homework, preparing and cooking meals, tidying up their rooms or doing individual shopping. We are happy to try to integrate the volunteer's personal interests and strengths into everyday group life, e.g. creative activities or projects. The working time is mainly in the afternoons, as the children and young people are at daycare or school in the mornings.
