Diocesan Charity Looks for a Volunteer to Assist Temporarily with Folding Clothes

Diocesan Charity Looks for a Volunteer to Assist Temporarily with Folding Clothes

The EVA Counselling Center for girls and women in need was caught in crisis operation. Thus, they’d need a volunteer to help them with the closet organisation from the beginning of May 2013. It would mean helping one day a week for 1-2 hours, which in total means helping approximately four times. We are asking for help, because three out of five of our workers are currently ill, or are taking care of their sick children. The two who remained healthy have to take care of the whole Center and they daily provide help to approximately 20 clients. In the following text, you will learn further details about work which is done in the closet.

Correspondence with Prisoners – is it of any use?

Correspondence with Prisoners – is it of any use?

We, the staff of the Diocesan Charity in České Budějovice, often ponder if this or that activity we do is of any use. If we didn´t think about the things in the way we do think about them – that is critically, with examining the practical outcomes and sometimes even doubting – there would be a risk that our activities might remain flat and shallow.
