ESC in Athene

Tandem is a Non-Profit Company established in 2007 by a group of Greek and international volunteers. They aim to improve the quality of life of children and young people with disabilities living in an enclosed institution in Athens. These children have either been abandoned or had to be removed from their families, and, in accordance to the Child Protection System of Greece, they have been institutionalized.

As a result, they live cut off from the rest of society. The lack of stimulation and education that comes with living in closed institutional structures, has a severe impact on the mental and emotional wellbeing of the children and youngsters with whom we work. They lack the security, protection and love that a family would provide. Although the institutes are trying to improve their services and integrate children into society, this is a slow process. In the mean time, the children need stimulation and social contact!

This is where you can be of value as a volunteer. The everyday physical needs of the patients are taken care of by nurses (such as washing, feeding and medication). But in terms of social, emotional, affective and educational support, the volunteer has a lot to offer. They provide extra care and attention to the children and act as a bridge between the institution and the outside world.
