Educational volunteer in a kindergarten, Sucre, Bolivia

You are the one who can assure these children to have the chance to grow up safe and healthy.

Many of the children the project cares for have all ready had difficult backgrounds despite their tender age – for example children from extremely poor areas of Sucre, those with disabilities, those whose mothers are unable to take care of them and those whose parents have left the country in search of a better means of life. Most of the children are between 4 and 6 years old.
The people working on this centre will assist you with all the information that you’ll need to get around the Sucre and use the public transport. They will tell you what to do and what not to do in the city, so that you will free and save to get to know Bolivia a bit better.
Your role as a volunteer will be busy and varied! You will act as an assistant to the teacher, offering educational support in mathematics, languages, reading and writing.

Your role as a volunteer

Your role on this project will be to share any knowledge and special skill you have. Anything can be of interest for your students. You'll need to be dynamic and to work in team with the teachers. You can inspire and share your experiences and successes with others and position yourself as a resource for the project. Some timer you'll just have to spend some quality time with them to raise their spirits, because many "just feel useless and abandoned". As much of their days are spent in a wheelchair looking at the walls, you can imagine how valuable your attention is to them!

You can start your day early in the mourning by preparing breakfast for kids or work in the afternoon shift. Give a useful hand every time is necessary, it will be really appreciated!
