About the project

Angeles de amor

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Angeles del Amor (Angels of Love), a "Farm and Workshops for People with Different Capacities", started its activities in 2008 supporting a population of 10 young adults with different abilities, currently supporting 23 people. Its objective is to provide experiential workshops and occupational therapy, as well as workshops on literacy, art education, physical education, graphomotricity workshops, singing and music, basic mathematics, environmental education, as well as visual, auditory, kinesthetic and social activities. In the same way, psychological support, talks and workshops are given to parents who have children with different abilities.

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will support, in the following areas:
- Education: They will support and carry out recreational activities with the children, recycling workshops, music, painting, drawing and handicrafts; the result of these activities will be to raise funds in the bazaars that are organized regularly; they will also perform occupational therapies activities and activities to improve the movements of young people.
- Farm: as the labor insertion of young people is one of the objectives of the association, a farm is set up in order to support the family economy and the association, for which the volunteer will support the construction, maintenance and start-up of the garden, bird pens, rabbits and sheep, greenhouse, and generally, in the maintenance and improvement of the center, with the aim of providing the necessary conditions to undertake the labor insertion of young people.
- Labor inclusion. Two mains projects are the Social Cafeteria and the Bakery. In both places, the aim is to promote the insertion of young people with disabilities in the workplace, which is why the cafeteria is the first step towards independence. Through this activity, society becomes aware about the way disabled people are treated. We require volunteers who can be inserted in some of these two areas that help us in the promotion, communication, training. Welcome experts in gastronomy or that are related to these spaces, not only for training but also to consolidate the opening of spaces in different areas.
- Administrative support: we require volunteers who can support us in the management of social networks, promotion of our activities, promotion of our social cafeteria, website update, etc. The area of the garden, is an area in which we all support. Although the activities take place from Monday to Friday, some Saturdays we organize bazaars, presentations of some theater play to raise funds, so we will be asking for your support
