Watch this small movie about Dorothee who was one year in L'Arche Moerkerke-Brugge.
You will share life in our home in De Ark Gent, Antwerpen or Moerkerke-Brugge where people with and without disabilities are living and working. By sharing life, going out together, eating at the same table, sharing up and downs in life,... you will participate in the life of the people with disabilities and discover how much you can learn from them. The volunteer feels that solidarity starts with recognizing the independency of people. In the house people with disabilities, other volunteers, students and a paid professional live together.
The volunteers will be assisting people with intellectual disabilities in their daily life. They will support them where needed, so activities will vary. The whole projectdescription you can find here.

This is a live-changing year for me. I learnt to be more open mind, but especially I learnt I can be myself. I am more sensible and aware about who I am and what I am longing for. These people learnt me about authentic relationships.
