Dear ĊAMYouths members,

For the second consecutive year, ĊAMYouths is committing itself to coordinate and organise the St. Joseph Home outreach project (SJH 2008), in which volunteers are invited to participate. The event consists of summer activities for the different units within St. Joseph Home run by the MSSP, which activities will be spread over the weeks of August. Activities will be organized on weekdays (Monday through Friday), during which the boys will be involved in different educational and/or fun activities.

The aim of the project is to assist St. Joseph Home in providing extra activities that enable the boys to enjoy summer time and have daily activities as part of their daily programme. The boys are divided into units, according to age, and each unit shall have individual activities as well as common activities with the rest of the units. Such grouping enables the activities to be tailored according to age as well as provide for more individual attention.

As a project, the SJH experience is fully in line with the core principles of ĊAMYouths, namely community, spirituality and mission. Such experience provides the volunteers with the opportunity to share themselves with others, especially with people in need. However, such service cannot take place outside the context of communion and spirituality. Thus the project is one whereby, through the course of preparation as well as during its realization, the volunteers are given ample opportunities to grow personally, spiritually and as a group.

Volunteers can commit themselves for specific times during the day and specific days during the week throughout the month of August. In other words, they are not requested to stay for the whole of the project. However, the more availability one gives the easier it would be to run the different activities as we would have enough manpower.

If you are interested in being part of the SJH 2008 experience, you can download the SJH 2008 – Formola ta' Applikazzjoni and send the completed form to infosjh@camyouths.com by not later than 30th April 2008. The SJH 2008 is open for ĊAMYouths members only, as long as they are 17 years of age and over. Kindly be informed that all applications shall be reviewed by a team directly responsible for this project, which team shall assess whether the candidates are eligible or not. Candidates with no previous experience of voluntary work or have little or no experience of community life are still eligible for the SJH 2008.
