Trip Description
GO POLAND Relief 1
Poland has seen over 1.5 million refugees from Ukraine cross its border. Our partners, Proem Ministries, have had the opportunity to host a number of families, mostly women and children at their camp Zakosciele, Poland. This team will have the opportunity to help our partners at Proem by creating and leading crafts and activities for the many children at the camp as well as sorting through a number of donations. Proem has received donations from various cities in Poland and even surrounding countries. They are sorting through and making these supplies available for refugees as the camp as well as packing and sending some to Ukraine border.
Applicants will be notified of their placement on the team as soon as possible. Applicants must be 18 years and older.
