Program description: |
|
|
We work with disabled and special-needs children and adults, in centres where our volunteers can really help to make a difference and in kindergartens with children aged from about 2 to 6 years old.
There is a great deal you can do to contribute to the much needed care and support of children on your voluntary Care placement. You can help with day-to-day practical tasks and important life-skills, ensuring that the young children have been washed and fed, as well as helping them with reading, writing and arithmetic.
In the kindergartens volunteers focus on basic education and help to teach numbers and the alphabet. Songs, games and sports are also popular activities to help with. The children will also welcome any new ideas that you may have for drama activities, putting on a concert or arranging a sports day.
