About the project

Happy Hearts

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Happy Hearts is an early stimulation center for babies and kids up to 5 years old supported by local staff, they are often overstretched and unable to devote extra time to activities, fun games or one-to-one sessions for the children. Volunteers bring additional skills or experience which can vary the activities provided for children at the childcare Centre and broaden their horizons. Any encouragement you can offer goes a long way towards building a child’s self-esteem and confidence. It is located in a beautiful area outside the city, it has an orchard and a little farm. The kids are all very sweet and kind.

💼 What the programme involves

Arts and crafts activities • Sports and games • Informal English learning activities • Helping to prepare lunch • Cleaning up before and after the sessions • Vocabulary learning, grammar activities or other English learning techniques • Fun games and activities • Supporting class work, providing one-to-one assistance for children • Sports games and activities At the beginning of the day, volunteers help receiving the kids, talking to the parents about any special request, handling the meals for the break, etc. Then they start with the activities planned for the day such as painting, drawing, playing with dough or swimming lessons in summer. At mid-morning volunteers help the teachers to organize the break, set the tables and get everything ready for the meal. After the break volunteers play at the garden, they have many games, sometimes they also learn a song, and they give food to the chicken or help in the maintenance of the orchard. Around 12:30 parents come to the childcare center to pick up their children. Volunteers help to hand over the children to their parents. This routine takes place every day of the week.
