Integração dos Anjos (BRA-22)
|
Brief description and main aims
Integração dos Anjos is a non-profit organization founded in 2005 that works for the development of children from needy communities. It works as an informal and complementary educational environment that stimulates the kids to develop abilities and skills, providing them support and assistance. |
Main Activities
The project receives 60 to 80 children aged between 6 and 15 years old that are divided in two big age groups (6 to 9 and 10 to 15 years old). In these groups, the educators promote pedagogical and recreational activities. Volunteers (local or international) can promote workshops according to the project's needs and resources.
The children who study at school during the morning stay in the project during the afternoon and vice versa, they are all from poor communities close to the project. There is also a kindergarten with a good structure, where the younger children (0 to 6 years old) receive assistance all day long so that their parents can go to work. (Kindly note: only female volunteers are accepted in the kindergarten).

Volunteer tasks
The volunteers will participate in the educational and sports activities as well as help the educators. In particular, it could be interesting if the volunteer likes football, as it is the children's favorite sport. Volunteers who would like to realize one or more workshops like building and playing with recycling material - music, percussion, dance, theatre - games (inside or outside) and sports are very welcome.
|
Volunteer requirements / SkillsThe role of the volunteers in the social project is important. The educators are expecting a volunteer who will be enthusiastic and willing to get involved. Most projects don't have a specific role to offer for the volunteer. The volunteer should strive, be creative and self-confident to develop their own activities/workshops while keeping in mind the responsibility of asking the people involved (project coordinators, staff) about the possibilities of doing such things.

LocationThe project is located in Porto Alegre. |
