🪿 As part of the Jane Goodall project, a truly vibrant bird conservation program took place at the Tanoda! 🐦 We had an engaging talk where we learned a lot about birds 📚, and afterward, everyone got to make their own bird feeder 🛠️. Finally, we placed 15 homemade feeders to help keep the local birds well-fed during the winter months! 🥰🌲🐤

About Us
We run an Afterschool Program (Tanoda) in Litke, Nógrád County Hungary, where we offer educational and recreational opportunities for socio-economically disadvantaged Roma children. We organize computer courses, arts and crafts, a drama club, group study projects and many other sports and study activities with the leadership of Bandi Oláh, a beloved local community member who lives with a disability.
Join the Team
Regardless of background or education, we welcome everyone to join our diverse team. There are many different ways you can help and participate in our work (program organization, working with children, administration, fundraising, etc.). Your volunteering experience may contribute to your professional development. We look forward to your application!
Transparency
We rely mostly on crowdfunding support and on small grants. The funding is used for the salary of employees, including András Oláh, and for the Tanoda programs, community programs and a summer camp.
