Imagine a vacation where you visit romantic European castles, shop in picturesque medieval towns, and work with orphaned children who are
hungry for attention.
Our two-week volunteer vacation takes you to the legendary region of Transylvania, where you will work with orphanages around Brasov, a historic city at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains.
Volunteer teams perform a variety of tasks to help the orphans, delivering donations of food and clothing, assisting with physical and occupational therapy, and taking older children on their first shopping trip. Most importantly, you'll be a friend and playmate for children who have had little attention from adults.
Volunteers need no special skills and do not need to speak Romanian.
During your volunteer vacation, you will enjoy free time to explore Transylvania. Brasov has a variety of shops, markets, museums, restaurants, internet cafes and much more.
Our Romanian hosts also plan day trips for the volunteers. Past groups have visited Sinaia to see the magnificent Peles Castle, to Bran, home of Dracula's Castle, and to Sighisoara, a medieval town surrounded by beautiful hilly countryside.
Our volunteer vacations typically run twice per year, in May and September. Dates vary, so please check with us for current trips.
The cost of the trip is $2,400 for 14 days. This includes meals, lodging, ground transportation and some sightseeing and cultural activities. Airfare excluded and will be the responsibility of the work team member. You may also have costs for your passport (valid passport required), travel insurance (highly recommended), excess baggage charges (if you bring more than your airline allows), personal items (such as film, email/phone charges, etc.) and any souvenir purchases.
