Überblick
OM works in refugee camps around the town of Šid, Serbia. You will be involved in providing drinks in the OM tea tent, keeping the tent area clean, working in the camp laundry, socialising with refugees, and sharing Christ's love with them while respecting the rules of the camp. The purpose of this mission is to serve the refugees passing through Serbia and show the love of Jesus.
- ** Dates: We need volunteers all the time, you can also come in another period than mentioned above!
- ** Language: It is a must that you understand and speak English. If you doubt your capability to communicate in English or are unsure, please ask your home office for more information. Languages present among the refugees are: Farsi, Pashto, Arabic, Urdu and Kurdish.
- ** Camp: Previously, the camp was a mix of families and singles. Currently, the refugees are mainly single men, and teenage boys. Both men and women serve with us - you will not be alone in the camp .
A registration fee of CHF 70.- is added (to be paid only once).
Experience with refugees or other cultures is desired. If there is no experience, we recommend a minimum age of 24 years. If you are interested, please write to us and we will be happy to find out whether the outreach suits you.

Accommodation fees are included in the fees that are paid to the team coordinator. She will settle the bill with the place you stay. Do not expect to have a single room.

We do not provide meals, self-catering is around 6-8€ a day, which is extra to the weekly fee paid.
Muss ich meine An- und Abreise selbst planen?
There are limited options to go to Šid by public transportation. We can arrange airport pick up and drop off. This will cost additional 30€ each way.
Wie sollte mein Gesundheitszustand sein?
If you have allergies or some medical history (depression, food disorder etc.) please make sure to point that out to the sending field BEFORE arranging your trip. The conditions at the camp are poor and diseases can spread easily. Make sure you have the basic hygiene and medical supplies with you that you need.
