Dan il-proġett hu ffinanzjat mill-Kummissjoni Ewropea – DĠ Komunikazzjoni u huwa wieħed mill-attivitajiet tal-Pjan Konġunt ta’ Komunikazzjoni bejn il-Gvern ta’ Malta, il-Kummissjoni Ewropea u l-Parlament Ewropew.

introduzzjoni Il-volontarjat huwa mod mill-aqwa kif tgħin f’kawża partikolari, tappoġġja organizzazzjoni, jew tagħmel id-differenza fil-komunità. Huwa wkoll opportunità biex issir taf nies ġodda u titgħallem affarijiet differenti. Jekk tixtieq tgħin lil ħaddieħor lil hinn milli tagħti donazzjonijiet fi flus, għaliex ma tagħtix il-ħin u t-talenti tiegħek lil dawk l-organizzazzjonijiet li għandhom bżonn l-għajnuna?

Ara kif tista’ tagħmel volontarjat.

Tixtieq tgħin fid-dinja jew fil-komunità?

Tixtieq tkabbar it-talenti tiegħek, tagħmel ħbieb ġodda jew titgħallem? Tixtieq taqsam it-talenti tiegħek mal-oħrajn u tagħti xi ħaġa lura lis-soċjetà? Dawn ilmistoqsijiet jistgħu jgħinuk tagħżel l-aħjar direzzjoni biex tagħmel volontarjat.

Agħżel organizzazzjoni li hija importanti għalik. Hemm organizzazzjonijiet li jaħdmu f’għadd ta’ oqsma differenti. Għal kull skop hemm

organizzazzjoni; mit-teatru sal-isports, l-isptarijiet u x-xelters għall-annimali.

Il-volontarjat jista’ jfisser tgħin lill-anzjani jew lir-refuġjati. Meta tagħmel volontarjat huwa importanti li tagħmel xi ħaġa li hija importanti għalik.

Fittex organizzazzjoni jew attività qrib tiegħek. Għandek tibda fuq skala żgħira speċjalment jekk diġà għandek xogħol ieħor li jrid isir fil-ħajja tiegħek ta’ kuljum, jew inkella jekk għadek ta’ età żgħira.

Sib organizzazzjonijiet li jwettqu xogħol adattat għall-kapaċitajiet u l-interessi tiegħek. Tassew li tista’ tiżviluppa kapaċitajiet ġodda permezz tal-volontarjat, iżda l-volontarjat jista’ jkun xogħol li jaqbel mal-kapaċitajiet li diġà għandek. Tħobb taħdem mannies? Mal-annimali? Mat-tfal? Binnumri? Tħobb titkellem jew tikteb? Jekk inti persuna li tħobb tiltaqa’ ma’ ħafna nies jista’ jkun li ma tantx tieħu gost

tqatta’ ħinek f’uffiċċju tikteb l-ittri jew torganizza l-karti. Ħaddieħor iżda, jaf ma jħossux komdu jħabbat bieb bieb jiġbor fondi għal xi kawża. L-għaqdiet madwarek għandhom bżonn kull xorta ta’ għajnuna. Jekk ma tafx liema xogħol jogħġbok jew ma jogħġbokx, organizzazzjoni tal-volontarjat hija opportunità tajba biex tipprova affarijiet differenti.

Il-Kunsill Malti għas-Settur talVolontarjat jista’ jgħinek issib għaqda tal-volontarjat tajba għalik. Għandhom lista sħiħa ta’ organizzazzjonijiet li jolqtu l-interessi ta’ kulħadd, f’oqsma differenti.

Din il-lista se tiġi ppubblikata f’Direttorju tal-Għaqdiet tal-Volontarjat u tista’ tinkiseb mis-sit: www.maltacvs.com Ħu Gost! Jekk tieħu pajċir f’dak li tagħmel, jirnexxilek tikseb aktar affarijiet u tilħaq aktar għanijiet, u l-probabbiltà hija li l-entużjażmu tiegħek jaffettwa lil ta’ madwarek.

Is-Sena Ewropea tal-Volontarjat 2011

2011 hija s-Sena Ewropea talVolontarjat.Tommy u Rosy jiskopru dinja ta’ xogħol volontarju ta’ sodisfazzjon magħġuna fil-ħajja tagħhom ta’ kuljum.

Tgħallem kif tagħti daqqa t’id billi tosserva u timita l-esperjenzi li Tommy u Rosy jaqsmu miegħek.

X’qed tara?

Tgħidlix li qed terġa’ sseksek fuq il-ġirien ta?!

Iskot Tommy!

Qed nara dak l-għasfur fis-siġra u int se tgerrxu!

Wara l-ikel , min se jaħsel il-platti? U min se jixxuttahom?

Tajjeb. Mela la bqajna bla voluntieri nibqgħu bla ġelat!

Iż-żmien għadda… Tommy u Rosy kibru… huma twalu u saru iktar moderni.

Wara l-ikel, Tommy u Rosy jimxu lejn issala tal-knisja tar-raħal tagħhom, fejn qegħdin jinbigħu kejkijiet u kotba b’risq il-karità.

Tfal , ommkom qaltli li se tkunu qed tagħtuna daqqa t’id! Grazzi, m’hawnx bħalkom intom!

Mid-dehra reġgħet għaxxqithielna l-Mamà, għamlitna voluntieri f ’xi skema oħra minn tagħha.

Ma, x’wegħedtu li se nkunu qed nagħmlu lil Father Michael?

Ftit tindif fil-bandli tarraħal . Issa tara kif tieħdu gost, u ma ddumux… l-iktar l-iktar siegħa jew sagħtejn… dak kollox!

Tommy u Rosy jgergru li ma jistgħux jgħinu lil Father Michael għax kienu laħqu ftiehmu ma’ sħabhom.

M’għandniex ħin Ma! U fuq kollox aħna x’se nieħdu minnha? Ħela ta’ ħin biss!

Kulma tridu tagħmlu hu li tagħtu daqqa t’id lil Father Michael .

M’hawnx xi voluntier li se jnaddfilna l? Tommy ejja naddaf il!

L-għalliema talklassi introduċiet u laqgħet lil Hilary fil-klassi.

Inkuraġġiet lill-istudenti biex jgħinuh jingħaqad magħhom.

Dak il-pjan tiegħi għas-Sibt – niġbor il-karti. Il-Mamà qaltli li se nieħu gost! Temmen?!

L-għada filgħodu, Rosy tqum b’burdata ħażina. Tommy għadu fis-sodda jipprova jtawwal ir-raqda tiegħu.

Qumu minn hemm ja għażżenin!

Tommy, tinsiex li wegħedt lin-Nannu li se tgħinu! Rosy għandi bżonnok tmur tixtrili ftit ħaxix. Ejja ċaqalqu!

Tommy u Rosy jitilqu f’direzzjonijet opposti.

Tommy sejjer id-dar tan-nannu, filwaqt li Rosy se tmur tagħmel xi qadjiet għall-Mamà.

Nannu! Dan int hawn f d ’ ar-ritratt?

Dan fejn?

Kont qiegħed naħdem bħala voluntier mar-Red Cross fl-Afrika!

In-nannu jispjega lil Tommy l-kefrija u l-effetti koroh tal-gwerra. Hu jkompli jispjega l-esperjenzi vjolenti u tal-biżà li sabu quddiemhom il-vittmi. Iżda, hu jiddeskrivi s-serħan li kienu jaraw f’għajnejn il-vittmi, meta dawn kienu jkunu megħjuna mill-voluntieri, li kienu jippruvaw idewwulhom il-feriti.

Ha ngħidlek Tommy, dik hija esperjenza li ma ninsieha qatt.

Ix-xogħol volontarju jagħtik is-saħħa li qatt ma kont tobsor li jkollok!

Hija sensazzjoni li nħoss in-nuqqas tagħha.

Issa dawn il-kaxxi se nċaqalquhom jew?

Tommy ħaseb li n-nannu kien imħallas somma flus tajba. Bil-kuntrarju, in-nannu spjega li r-Red Cross tfisser kura u għajnuna volontarja.

Mela…

Ara se nibda nerfa’!

Fuq in-naħa l-oħra tar-raħal, Rosy riesqa lejn Violet, il-bejjiegħa tal-ħaxix, biex tixtri l-ħaxix.

Il-Mamà ftiehmet ma’ Father Michael li aħna konna se…

Għaliex bil-geddum?

Il-bejjiegħa tal-ħaxix ftiehmet ma’ Rosy biex tattendi wieħed mill-kunċerti tagħha.

Wara li għen lin-nannu, Tommy jmur għat-training tal-futbol.

Jiddispjaċini li wasalt tard! Kelli ngħin lin-Nannu jċaqlaq xi kaxxi.

Nuqqas ta’ puntwalità jfisser nuqqas ta’ responsabbiltà.

Meta vvolontarjajt biex inħarreġ dan it-tim kelli nsib ftit spazju għalih f’ħajti. Jien inlaħħaq mal-familja, man-negozju u mal-

Il-kowċ ikompli jispjega li l-imħabba lejn il-logħba trid turiha billi tkun dixxiplinat, u tirrispetta lit-tim.

X’ġurnata dik ħej! Qatt ma ħlomt li n-Nannu kien għamel dawk l-affarijiet kollha meta kien iżgħar. Imbagħad ilKowc, bagħatni d-dar għax kont tard qas biss missejt ballun illum!

Isa ħej… din qatt ma kienet!

Tommy u Rosy jippreparaw ruħhom biex imorru jorqdu. Mingħajr tgergir, it-tnejn li huma jnaddfu l-kmamar tas-sodda tagħhom.

L-għada, il-Mamà u Rosy, flimkien ma’ Violet, jimxu sat-teatru li jinsab ftit metri biss ‘l bogħod mid-dar.

L-isptar?

Violet tidħol l-isptar u l-udjenza ċċapċap meta taraha dieħla. Hi tibda tkanta u ddoqq il-mużika, waqt li l-udjenza ċċapċap u tidħak meta Violet tgħid xi ċajta.

L-isptar huwa s-sala tal-kunċerti tiegħi. Hawnhekk inkanta.

L-għada, Tommy u Rosy jkunu sejrin lura d-dar. Ikunu sorpriżi bl-istorbju li jkun hemm fit-triq tagħhom.

In-nar ħaraq is-siġra fejn kienu jilagħbu meta kienu żgħar.

Tommy u Rosy baqgħu impressjonati bil-kuraġġ tal-pumpier Joe u l-pumpieri l-oħrajn.

Kemm jogħġobni x-xogħol tagħkom .

Dejjem xtaqt naħdem fit-tifi tan-nar. Issa ċert li dan ix-xogħol għalija!

Il-pumpier Joe jispjega lil Tommy li meta kellu xi seba’ snin kien hemm ħruq għand il-furnar ta’ ħdejhom.

Joe u ħuh inqabdu fin-nirien imma ġew salvati. Dakinhar Joe kien iddeċieda li jibda jgħin lil ħaddieħor bl-istess mod. Kif għalaq 18-il sena mar jinkiteb bħala voluntier.

Propja dan mhux xogħli.

Jiena voluntier mat-taqsima tattifi tan-nar. Xogħli propja hu li nsuq tow truck!

L-għada filgħodu Tommy u Rosy kienu qegħdin iduru bir-rota mar-raħal. Ħin minnhom jiltaqgħu ma’ mara li kienet qiegħda tipprova ttella’ żiemel żgħir fuq il-kaxxa taż-żiemel.

Ta’ xejn!.

Allura issa fejn se tieħdu l?

Grazzi tfal . Imnalla tajtuni daqqa t’id għax ma nafx x’kont nagħmel!

Il-mara li tieħu ħsieb dan iċ-ċentru tispjega lil Tommy u Rosy li huma dejjem ifittxu annimali abbandunati jew maħqurin. Annimali oħra jinġabru mit-triq bħall-klieb abbandunati jew jinnegozjaw mas-sidien taż-żwiemel biex jadottaw l-annimali tagħhom ħalli ma jraqqduhomx. Il-mara tgħid lit-tfal li għalkemm il-pony hu dgħajjef u nervuż, fi ftit xhur oħra jerġa’ jkun kalm u jilgħab mat-tfal li jżuru l-istalel.

Ilse nieħdu l-lukanda tal-klieb u ż-żwiemel li għandi. Jien immexxi ċentru għallannimali fejn nilqgħu żwiemel u klieb.

Tommy u Rosy qegħdin il-bandli jitkellmu b’entużjażmu ma’ sħabhom waqt li jirrakkuntawlhom l-episodju taż-żiemel.

Iż-żiemel ikkalma. L-għajnuna tagħna serviet. Kemm ħassejtni tajjeb. Taf li l-mara li tieħu ħsieb iż-żwiemel lanqas biss talbitna biex ngħinu. Hekk... qisna qbadna… u morna!

Isma’ dik il-mara tagħmel kulma tagħmel għax voluntiera. Ħadd mhu qed iħallasha.

Taf kemm trid flus biex tieħu ħsieb l-annimali! Imbagħad iż-żwiemel!

Taf xiex? Messna mmorru ngħinuha darba kultant.

X’taħsbu?

Qiskom għal darba qed taqblu!

Jekk qed titkellmu dwar ittip ta’ voluntieri li għenu lili meta bdejt nirkupra għandkom tkunu millaqwa!

Hilary jdur fuq sħabu tal-klassi u jispjega kif grupp ta’ fiżjoterapisti voluntieri kienu jaħdmu miegħu fil-gym u fil-pool. Hu faħħar l-għajnuna u d-dedikazzjoni tagħhom, għax mingħajrhom qatt ma kien se jkun b’saħħtu kif inhu llum.

Fuq il-laptop, Hilary juri lil sħabu tal-iskola xi video clips dwar ix-xogħol volontarju mwettaq mill-adulti kif ukoll mit-tfal.

Iktbu “The Volunteer” u ibdew!

Eh... mela hekk jaħdem il-volontarjat!

Kollha kemm aħna nistgħu nagħmlu xi volontarjat. Bi ftit sforz nistgħu nagħmlu differenza kbira.

Issa jmiss lilek ukoll… Agħti daqqa t’id!

Agħmel xi ħaġa għal persuna li ma tafhiex u għamilha mingħajr ħlas!

The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami.

PLAYE 5

Who will reach home first?

PLAYER 6

1. Each player participating requires having 4 same窶田oloured beads (alternatively, one can use old buttons). The maximum number of players is 6.

2. At the start of the game, each player must place 2 (out of the 4) beads on each of the two start circles representing him/her.

3. Players take it in turns to throw a dice. Each player starts the path to home, upon throwing a 6. The bead is then placed onto the starting square.

4. In each subsequent turn, the player moves a bead forward as indicated by the dice. When a player throws a 6 s/he may introduce another bead or s/he may choose to move a bead already in play.

5. If a player gets a number on a dice three times in a row it is counted as a foul and s/he loses his/her turn.

PLAYER 1

PLAYER 2

6. Once a bead has completed the path to home, it is counted as a volunteer award.

7. The player must throw the exact number to advance to the home circle.

8. The winner is the first player to get all four beads onto the home circle.

me for you day Why not be a kind and lovable person to your community, to your friends and to people who need your help? A person who manifests goodness and selflessness is a guiding influence to society. Why not choose a day every week and perform one small act of service for someone…. You could be a blessing in someone’s life… your smile as well as your kind gesture might change the other person’s life.

The ME FOR YOU DAY is put in action by selecting a good deed to do for someone, completing the task when they are not around, and leaving behind a handwritten note saying “Today is YOUR day – I am giving you my help and my friendship… I will protect you and guide you”.
