PLAYGROUND RAINAU

• PARTNER
• Rainau is a local community which consists of five different villages. For the first time they invite international volunteers to support them improving the local infrastructure and to enrich the village festival on August 9th to 11th. The main task is to build a playground in the small village Weiler. The children there donaeurot have a playground yet and as the budget of the local community is limited, they asked for the help of international volunteers to be able to spend a bigger part of the budget in the playing tools. Beside of this they hope that your participation in the new village event aeurooesummer beer garden at the lakeaeuro will be an enrichment for you and for the locals. The event includes also a festival of lights.
