Every contribution is significant

Receiving volunteers from all over the world is a priceless opportunity for our children and the benefits are even higher with a diversity of backgrounds and skills. Once you become part of us you are considered a family and any idea on how we can improve and maximize what we have is highly welcome, we do believe that it takes more than action to change society because all that matters is the heart posture. Once your heart is connected to what you want to accomplish, nothing can hinder or stop you. You can volunteer at our nursery, primary and high school to help teach core subjects, such as English, mathematics, science, music, art, and social sciences, support the children that need extra care, as well as design workshops, extra-curricular and holiday activities about health, social justice, woman empowerment, responsible sexual behavior, environmental conservation, agriculture, etc. There is a lot to do and it’s a lot of fun!
