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. For more information about the project and program:
