S.A.V.E.2 is based on the success of the first S.A.V.E. group EVS project. The volunteers will continue to work with children with disabilities and children institutionalized in the Children Protection Services. Additionally they will work with NGOs from Targu Jiu and Gorj County active in the Social Field. We will work together on editing a Best Practice Example Guide for Volunteering in the Social Field to serve as a Guide for future EVS volunteers and not only them. We will work together on building an online platform to help the NGOs active in the social field promote their identity and activities. This will help make the results of their work more visible and their activities more transparent towards the citizens of Targu Jiu especially and all other visitors and supporters of the platform. Those that will wish to get involved and help with materials or by simply volunteering, will have a clear image on how their contribution can help social cases from their county.
