2. T HE SUMMER CAMP : WHAT IS IT ? Who and how many people are
involved? The summer camp is devoted to persons with autism : we
can accommodate about 16 autistic children with their parents and
their healthy siblings, whether about 40 persons. Also, we are
about 14 volunteers participating: 4 are working daily in the
association, as long- term EVS, and we are looking for 10 other
volunteers. In the goal to respond to the associations project, its
important for us to integrate 2 volunteers with a handicap. All
this volunteers are coming from different countries ; it reinforces
the riches of the exchanges. Last year, they came from Slovakia,
Armenia, France, Spain and Czech Republic.
