Children's
camps & playschemes have been successfully conducted
in Albania & Serbia over the past five years.
In
ALBANIA a camp facility has been established
which includes 16 shower & toilet rooms, a large
undercover washing area, a coffee bar, a concrete
playing area, and an adventure playground. We
also purchased a large bouncy castle for the children
to bounce on - the first one in the country. The
look on the children's faces as they saw this
fill with air was amazing!
Family-sized tents were donated by Holiday Break,
and we equipped them with new beds, sheets, pillows
& pillowcases.
A full programme of activities includes games,
craft, trips to the beach, teaching and instruction
on basic hygiene.
In SERBIA LightForce purchased
an acre of land just outside the town of Vrsac,
near to the Romanian border, to use as a campsite
for children's camps.
The
site has been equipped with tents, beds, linen,
tables, benches, flysheets to make a dining area,
and a bouncy castle. A wooden toilet block has
been constructed and a basic shower block enables
children & adults alike to keep clean. The facilities
are basic but the children enjoy the camps nonetheless.
Activities include games, trip to a lake, walks
in the nearby mountains, a teaching programme,
and craft activities.
