About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Our partner organization acts as a shelter for children (male from 4-9 y.o.) with low economic resources, sons of single mothers, or coming from dysfunctional families living under vulnerable conditions. The children attend school, they are instructed in the Catholic religion; and in the afternoon they do their homework and participate in diverse recreational activities such as Kung Fu; singing, catechism. Some of them have educational backwardness and support personnel is sought so that children can continue to grow educationally and personally.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteer will support the children in activities such as:
• Awaken the children in the morning to attend the religious mass and later on to go to school.
• After some free hours, the volunteer will rejoin the children in the afternoon to support them with their homework and, if possible, to assist the children in their English classes and after-school activities.
• They will accompany the children at dinner.
• Volunteers will be supporting the caregiver and monitoring for the fulfillment of the activities
