Activity volunteer:

Activity volunteers set up activities for groups of 8 to 10 children. They lead or help during these activities, and even organise and lead events in the evening for the entire camp. They are always ready to dress up, sing, dance, play, install, and clean up the different rooms.

Expected skills:
dynamism, imagination, open-mindedness, happiness as well as being serious and having sense of responsability.

Medical volunteers are responsible for the care and treatment of children, under the responsibility of the medical director and the coordinating nurse.

”We are giving these children a bit of strength and recklessness that will hopefully help them during these difficult moments.

”I am seeing courageous and lively children that sometimes do even more than children that face less difficulties. They are doing beautiful things and are full of joy and strength. It is a huge life lesson.

”It’s great, because we all chose to be a part of this project to bring something to these children. We asked for it and we can definitely feel the impact. At L’ENVOL, everyone is strongly involved. It is touching to see such strong relationships being developed
