EU volunteers help disabled

FOUR European volunteers have given 1200 hours of their time to help disabled youngsters in some of Edinburgh's poorest areas.

Dominika Pucilowska, 26, from Poland, Ariane Rosel, 19, from Germany, 21-year-old Kale Traore from France and Spaniard Saenz Abed, 24, have worked in the city through a scheme run by the European Voluntary Service.

The group worked across north Edinburgh and Leith, helping 36 disabled children.

Dominika said: "I have enjoyed volunteering. It's interesting to see how things are done in Scotland."
