One World Association is
a non-governmental organization, which carries the mission
of promoting peace and mutual understanding by means of
international and national voluntary programmes and education.
By "opening" one person for another we want to
raise social awareness and by that create one world, without
separating the better from the worse.
The Association was established in 1992, registered officially
in District Court in Poznań in 1994. From the very beginning
"One World" Association acts as a part of the
international organization Service Civil International (SCI).
We realize our mission by:
 international
short-term (workcamps) and long-term voluntary programmes;
educational
programme "Różni - Równi" ("The Different
- The Equal") which includes lessons at schools and topic campaigns;
workshops
and seminars;
promoting
non-profit help for others.
Voluntary work is not only offering oneself for others. It is also realizing
one's goals, developing one's skills, meeting people who live different way,
have different needs and different problems.
By offering help, by working together, by showing understanding and by mutual
learning, one can enter true friendship in the same town as well as in different
continent.
A smile, joy, a good word are the best prize for volunteer's work.
Every person sharing our ideas can become a member of
The Association. At present there are about 500 members
(commons and supporters). We call all of them "volun-
teers".
According to The Association's aims volunteers perform
various functions by working for several social groups
(disabled, refugees, people in difficult life situations). |
