1. CENTRE
FOR INDIGENOUS CHILDREN (Casa Esperanza)
This
is a non-governmental organization and was founded in 1992 with the objective to
help indigenous children in and around Boquete by giving them the opportunity to
go to school and by providing nutrition and if necessary health care.
The centre picks up the children at their houses and brings them to school.
After the classes they are brought to the centre where, after a warm lunch, the
kids participate with the daily activities. Each age group has four activities
every afternoon (a workshop, games, homework-room, and computer-room). They
rotate so every group has time for each activity.
This project is a great initiative and a lot of indigenous kids benefit from the
project. It is a centre where you’ll find warm children, very motivated people,
and a great atmosphere.
2.
SECONDARY SCHOOLS
In
the area of Boquete there are various secondary schools where you can do
volunteer work. The teachers always have a big group of students and can use two
extra hands. The biggest secondary school can be found in the center of town
where there is also a group of about thirty handicapped children of which de
half is taught in a separate class and the other half is integrated in the
regular classes. However, the latter group of kids also needs some personal
attention for which the teachers do not have time.
Tasks
There are
numerous things you can do to help the teachers, help with the English classes,
or help the young children paint, give a hand in the cantina, help with making
games and class materials, etc. In the biggest school you can also give the
handicapped kids special attention. |
