The foundation Alonso Quijano is a nonprofit private and independent institution, which’s aim is to contribute with the integral development of the human being through the promotion of the cultural and educative initiatives, especially of those focused on the promotion of reading. The 2 volunteers will: - Support and collaborate in the Program «Spanish for immigrants» - Participate in the Mother and Child Hospital of Málaga, in the project «Get better with books» - Assist in the project «Books for the World». - Help organize and attend events such as Reading, Book Day, and seminars at the university and online. - Have the opportunity to suggest activities that interest them. - Actively assist with the Foundation’s communication efforts, particularly through social media. Volunteers will constantly be accompanied by a staff member and receive guidance and support for the activities carried out.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteer will live in a room in a shared flat with other young people. The room and the flat will be fully equipped, and electricity, water, and gas will be covered by the host organization. Internet connection is not covered by the hosting/co organization. Volunteers will be able to cook their meals on their own in their flats; for that purpose they will receive 150€ each month.
