About the project

ESCUELA SAN MIGUEL

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Escuela Miguel Angel is a primary school located in a very poor area. Children from 4 to 15 years old attend to the school in which they not only learn but also get food and entertainment since most of them belong to very poor families or orphanages of the area. Volunteers help the teachers (in most cases there is only one teacher for 45 kids in a classroom), play with the children, present workshops and assist the language courses. Children enjoy their company since they really need attention and care. Many of them suffer from domestic violence and the school provides them for a shelter.

💼 What the programme involves

Assist the teachers in the classroom Play with children during breaks Interact with children and school staff Volunteers take the bus to get to the school in the morning. Arrive to the school around 10 a.m., share the lessons with the children, play with the kids during the breaks. Then they share lunch with children or teachers (they have to bring their own food) and stay for a few more hours in the afternoon. Around 4p.m. they take the bus back to their residences.

🏠 Accommodation on site

📍 About the location

La Pintana neighbourhood is one of the poorest and most vulnerable areas of Santiago. Most kids suffer from domestic violence or live in orphanages because their parents can not feed them or have judicial issues. Children are in much need of care and attention.

🎒 Leisure activities

Volunteers can travel around Chile during weekends since they have to work only during week days
