About the institution
The institution works in Cuenca since 1956 and it has a very good location, near the state Hospital “Vicente Corral Moscoso” and “paraiso” park.

The centre takes in about 84 children between 5 and 14 years old to get attention in important areas such as pedagogic help, psychological follow up and nutrition. The kids who are admitted into the centre come from humble families with economic difficulties and problems related to their parent’s absence due to migration. The centre aims to change the quality of life of these children by involving them in some nice activities that can keep them away from bad habits they could be learning out of school. The children attend the institution in the morning or in the afternoon depending on their schedule at school, most of the help will be needed in the afternoon.


Description of the work
The volunteers are able to choose from a wide range of activities, some involving specialized fields like psychology or pedagogy. You can help the children in difficult situations, and other duties will be based on your abilities to perform either some artistic or sportive activity, for instance if you can play an instrument, paint or practice any sport. If you’re willing to share  these abilities with other people, you are welcome to join, bear in mind that by doing this you’d be changing the lives of many kids. Also bear in mind that the centre has limited resources, so your initiative to improvise and face adverse situations is a key factor.


Keep in mind
It is better if you have experience with working with groups of children and youth. You need to be creative, responsible and dedicated to your tasks and like to work in a team.

Time:
Depending on the field you choose, you’ll have a flexible schedule, but it its very important that you attend the centre in the afternoon where most help is needed. Most of the children will be there at that time due to their schedule at school.

Board and Lodging: None

Costs: None
