Description
Organization introduction Our mission is to help families develop sustainable values that will be passed on to all target audiences. The Caritas program of the Kaunas Archdiocese "Child Welfare Institute" (VGI) has been operating since 2016. The main goal of this program is to help a child grow up happily in a family and to give adoptive and guardian families a space to communicate with each other, to get to know children and their characteristics better, to hear their inner voice - intuition, and to free themselves for a joyful relationship with the child. Volunteer will be able to: play with the children, help them to prepare homework, help them to learn new subjects, go for a walk. https://vgi.caritas.lt/
