Organisation: Labdariba (Charity) NGO

The organization is new and does not have their own web site yet. Here's the description provided by the chairman of Labdariba:

Introduction:

Officially established only in December 2005, but members have been actively working already before organising various charity projects in the frame of leadership trainings for example, project in the children shelter houses renovating premises which are in really bad conditions in Latvia. Main working areas are support of interest groups (people working together to achieve their goals), as well as to give support and help for creation and implementation of various charity projects.

Current projects:

Organisation of sport championship for children from shelter houses (more with idea to have fun together, rather than to do active sports). This championship would be with different disciplines in order to develop various skills and abilities (as, teamwork how to work together to succeed the aim, etc.) as well as to have one or several days out of their daily routine learn new things and try out not so common ways of sport. It is also planned to involve some famous musicians, artists, other youth idols as they have a great influence on youth. It would be also possible to see nice performances and develop their talents (different workshops).

Renovation of shower rooms which are in a really bad condition in children shelter house Likumi. At the moment those premises are under any sanitarian norms, but very essential in the daily life of those kids. Municipality is not having enough money to repair them. Total sum needed for the renovation is 20 000 lats. Fundraising has been started and until now they have already raised funds off 800,- lats and volunteers are actively working to get more funds (money, as well as some materials, goods useful at the renovation process).
