IRFF Family project in Slovenia:
ESTABLISHING A CULTURE OF PEACE THROUGH THE CULTURE OF HEART
Ljutomer, 8.-17.August 2003, Slovenia.
International Relief Friendship Foundation
Slovenia is inviting your family and volunteers to
participate in the IRFF 2nd Family & Service project
( report and photos from last year Family project are available on http://www.irff-europe.org/project/slovenia/familyproject.htm
).
The project is focused on families setting up a role model for unity and
cooperation among families, nations and religions, stressing an active
role of a family in todays society.
Together with volunteers, families will
help to local institutions (kindergarten, old
people home,...) in a small community Ljutomer in Slovenia ( http://www.imgrad-ljutomer.si/pg/lju/ljutomer-e.htm
).
During the project, beside two days orientation program (making
acquaintances, discuss family values), evening programs and service to
local community, families will have outings to a beautiful landscape
(one day ferry sightseeing along the river Mura, stopping at the island
of love with lunch in a setting in nature), take part in local cultural
and sport events (traditional annual fair with Roman games) and get
to know local folklore.
Families will be accommodated at the Salesian institution with long
tradition of hosting and organizing camps for children, seminars for
families and parents. Special program will be made for children who
will also have a chance to take an active part in the project and enjoy
in exciting holidays (a swimming pool within 5 minutes' walk and the
accommodation place has a nice area for playing and sport activities).
We are looking forward to families and volunteers eager to
participate in the August International Family & Service project.
