Recreational Workshops

Program description
|
The children attend the community centres because here they have room to play, while it is too crowded at their own homes. The adults work all day and don’t have time to play with the kids or read a story to them. These workshops change the everyday lives of the children. Volunteers help in the organization and development of the different activities and make it possible for the children to have a welcoming place to play in.

The overall experience was great. The kids are so full of energy which made such a difference to the experience. One of the main benefits was confidence with the language and working with children.

Local coordination
Each workshop has a coordinator and volunteers get to know all of them according to the activities they help with. Cristina is the general coordinator and is always ready to help Volunteer feel integrated and comfortable with the tasks assigned.
Key information
The kids are eager to learn and to play; they are capable of absorbing more information than we think they can. And they come to join the workshops in search for affection or simply to get the attention they lack at home.
Location and first day
This cultural center is located in the very traditional neighborhood of La Boca, only 30’ away from our Volunteers House in central Buenos Aires. During your first day, you will take a tour around the building and meet all coordinators and you will know the story behind their faces.
