Community Volunteering in the Limagne Bourbonnaise region

Espinasse-Vozelle has a primary school which hosts each year approximately 70 pupils. The municipality wishes to preserve this school and the life that it brings to the village. The local council is caring for the children but also for the teenagers of the village. The project will be carried out together with the local youth centre. This will allow to establish links between local teenagers and the international volunteers.
