European Voluntary Service in Kemeri National Park

For the first time, Kemeri National Park has applied to European Commission for volunteer support in a project called European Voluntary Service (EVS). It is one of five activities included in “Youth in Action” program managed by European Union. The idea of voluntary service is to let young people from different countries work abroad in new surroundings, get to know other people, their culture and folklore, learn new languages. The work is of social character, without getting paid for it.
Two volunteers, David Perdomo Perez from Spain and Krzysztof Bialik from Poland came to KNP. They are staying here for six months, from May until November. Description of their work can be read here.
