Social missions in Colombia – Bogota

Description

This humanitarian project in South America aims to support children, teenagers, and adults in vulnerable situations through different initiatives around the city of Bogota, Colombia.

Building self-esteem. All the projects aim to improve the situation of children, teenagers, and adults by giving them the opportunity to work on their self-esteem in a safe environment. This is achieved through various workshops, tutoring, sports, games, and cultural activities. Organic garden and urban garden projects such as the “Dream Forest” have also been developed.

– The tutoring center for children supports them in various areas: nutrition (balanced breakfast and lunch), psychological support, homework supervision, academic reinforcement, art therapy and music therapy, as well as sports and football classes for children and teenagers.

– Carpentry and weaving workshops have also been set up.

During this humanitarian project in South America, volunteers will be involved in different tasks such as:

– Supporting the development of the organic garden and the Dream Forest

– Improving housing infrastructure

– Translating / guiding visitors

– Leading activities / playing sports with children

– Teaching English, music, art, and theater to children

– Helping children with their homework

– Assisting teachers with their pedagogy based on the educational approaches used in the volunteers’ home countries

– The carpentry and weaving workshops also welcome volunteers with experience in these fields and an intermediate level of Spanish.
