Since half October, all of the children are on summer holidays. Which means a more constant group of children take part in our afterschool project. Also older children, that are not supposed to come to our afterschool project anymore, enjoy the afternoons. Most of those 16 and 17 year old young adults help the teachers out during the activities. They really enjoy being part of the organization, but don´t want to take part in all the activities. A great way of receiving extra help and keeping even the young adults from the streets!
Unfortunately we were not able to organize any field trips, such as a day to the pool or the zoo, this year. Any support for this kind of activity is more than welcome. We might be able to do something extra in January or February.
But we are very thankfull for the fact we are still able to keep working with the children during 4 afternoons every week. With national and international help we will be able to keep the children from the street and educate them through our activities. It´s very rewarding to see the change: Children on their first day in the program or after they have been participating for 3 months. They are able to show their emotions, better motoric skills and share things with their friends.
Thank you very much for making this possible.
