Every year WE Center organises a Summer Camp for children in Jerash Refugee Camp. This year it's all Who we are? What are we doing? Why is this project important?
We are a group of 5 volunteers – Alba, Catalina, Lisa, Luísa and Rosa –, coming from different countries in Europe (Germany, Portugal and Spain), and we are doing the European Voluntary Service (EVS) with East&West Center for Human Resources Development (WE Center) in Jordan. We all come from different backgrounds but we have one thing in common: passion to work with children! Every year WE Center
