Volunteer with vulnerable children who have no access to education
CARITAS CATHOLICA VLAANDEREN
Sint-Joost-Ten-Node, Belgien
Beskrivelse
Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of children? Do you want to be part of meaningful projects that provide educational opportunities to the most vulnerable? Join Caritas Hulpbetoon Vlaanderen and help us bring learning and joy to the children of traveling families!
About the project
Caritas Hulpbetoon Vlaanderen provides a "reference address" for +-300 travelers in Belgium for accessing official services. Due to their nomadic lifestyle, many children from these communities have no access to education. That is where you come in!
Our "Family Following" project offers educational and fun activities for children. These activities take place on private and passing terrains across Belgium. As a volunteer, you will prepare and organise activities in French (reading, writing,...), math, and other subjects, playfully helping children develop essential skills. Since volunteers go to the families' homes, you will move around regularly in Belgium.
