Basic idea of project

Every man naturally feels the need to belong somewhere for a safe place where he can be himself, where his problems and pleasures are shared, where his situation is adopted by others (family, home, community..).

As the integrity of a person is the highest form of individual existence, so the integrity of a community is included in the highest form of group existence. The integrity can be understood as a process of an individual´s connection to a certain group, in an ideal case, to the group where man is accepted and therefore he is also able to accept and feel that he is safe. This feeling changes him and restores him to health.

These are the principles of the movement “ARCHA” (founded by J. Vanier) which is the inspiration of our project.

Birth of project

Some members of the assosiation have worked in the field of providing services for people with mental or physical disabilities for years. The experiences acquired in this work and the deeply beneficial group meetings, gave rise to the idea. This was the noticed by the assosiation who now lend their hands toward the realization of the plans.

Our aim is to build a group house for people with mental handicaps, who can not work and live independently. Most of these people are thrown back up their parents who are growing old up to now. This situation brings big stress for both sides. The best solution seems to be a integration of these people in a community, which will ensure the care of them and will accept their special needs. This will enable them to live a dignified and usfull life.
