Our local partner is the town hall of El Saucejo. De Amicitia collaborated with them also in previous years.
💼 What the programme involves
The task of the volunteers will be creating workshops for the local kids from 3 to 12 years old. The volunteers will prepare and finalize the programe in the first days. Each day, a four hours workshop/activities will be given and organised for kids in the morning. The volunteers will have many facilities to do the activities with children. The main idea is to create games and to be the first contact in English comunication for those kids that they donIt have opportunity to learn and practice English language.
