Over het programma

We believe that quality education is not only about imparting knowledge, but also about cultivating social responsibility and a sense of personal fulfilment among those with whom we share.

As part of our activities, we offer school support to students to strengthen their learning and academic development. In addition, we provide our volunteers with the opportunity to develop and lead educational workshops, making a significant contribution to the educational community. 

Together, we work to create an environment where education is a catalyst for personal and social growth, where active participation and learning values such as solidarity are fundamental to our focus on community development and educational improvement.


Activities (these may vary according to the needs of the schools) 

  • Supporting pupils during school hours in public schools.
  • Design and develop complementary educational activities for children in educational spaces.
  • Offering assistance during classes in English, mathematics, Spanish, geography, painting, among others.
  • Organisation of workshops, for example on recycling, emotions, environmental conservation, among others.

Dagelijkse activiteiten

Monday to Friday hours for the project

7:00 to 12:00 noon / 12:20 to 5:20 p.m. This is the time when the volunteer is in a public school in the community. Some are assigned to classrooms and others to the special support classroom.

Free initiative

This is a space where the volunteer can propose and carry out workshops and activities that they are good at sharing with the children.

Depending on the number of volunteers we will divide into groups. We want the workshops, activities and school support to be a way of learning, sharing, having fun and getting out of the routine. It is therefore important that every volunteer who is part of the project brings a PROPOSAL FOR AN ACTIVITY OR WORKSHOP.

This proposal can be related to your profession, your talents, hobbit or with themes such as sewing, art, yoga, gardening, recycling, self-knowledge and early stimulation.

Regarding the workshops or activity that you propose in the form that we send to the volunteer, this must indicate: 

  • A proposal for the workshop or activity.
  • The age group it is aimed at.
  • Materials, as it will be you who will lead the activity.

Who we are? and What we do?
We are a socio-community project that seeks to contribute to the educational and social growth of several villages in Panama.
In many parts of Panama, it is common to find children and young people who have educational difficulties due to the limited resources available to them. Based on this problem and the common passion for education of many of the people who fight for the improvement of education in our country, we decided to create a space where we can have an impact with school reinforcement to improve the quality of education for the population.
 
The sustainability of the project depends on the participation of volunteers, which is why we have been creating learning spaces in the village of Chame and the schools, as well as going to the homes of the children we have on the list (in need of support). These spaces are available for people who have the desire and enthusiasm to accompany us in this experience from 2 weeks.

Where we work?
The teaching methodology of the Panamanian education system is often quite traditional. Many of the children have a high rate of absenteeism, failing to pass the exams to enter secondary school (one of the reasons why they drop out).

Seeing the low indexes in the quality of education that Panama has, the neglect of natural areas and mistreated animals, as well as being the country where I was born and studied, I decided to collaborate and support volunteer projects or projects that were focused on providing educational tools according to the age of the children, to give them within our possibilities a future with better opportunities and adequate social and work possibilities.

Despite this need, Panama is often a country: 
  • For sure
  • With a good economy (although it does not reach all its citizens).
  • Culture and traditions that are maintained in the different provinces. 
  • Places such as beaches, volcanoes, biodiversity of fauna and flora.
  • Experiences that you can only live in a country that is considered to be a "tri-race country" because of its cultural diversity.
Because of the above mentioned, it is an ideal destination for a volunteer, both young and old, as you can walk around in peace and quiet and visit the unique places that Panama has and support education.

Mission
To promote the growth and development of the skills of children and young people with educational difficulties from vulnerable communities through teaching, educational and leisure games, in order to provide more targeted support to ensure personal and professional growth.

Vision
To create opportunities to achieve skills development for children and young people from vulnerable communities.

Values
  • Strength: Strength, balance and prudence in working with the children and young people who attend our after-school space are the best guarantees of the work and growth we do, as well as creating long-term value for them.
  • Respect: We strive for self-respect, respect for the rights and dignity of all people and respect for children.
  • Honesty: It is necessary to create an honest environment within the school review space where we work with the children, as well as the people who work directly with them, the teachers.
  • Social Responsibility: We know that to involve the children and the community where they live in the activities we do, it is necessary and vital, the participation of families, teachers, coordinators and volunteers, seeking the intermediation between all social actors through the collaboration and work of volunteers in the projects and activities that we develop.
Why volunteer in Panama and why volunteer with us?
  • Many of the children have a high rate of absenteeism, they do not manage to pass the exams to enter secondary school, (one of the reasons why they drop out of school). 
  • Not to mention the lack of environmental awareness in the communities that are located near protected areas where sea turtles and other species live and live there.  
  • Another much-needed project is the protection and care of wild animals in Central America, which due to deforestation, illegal trafficking, attempted domestication or mistreatment suffer a decline of the species year after year.
  • The escuelita has also been involved in preserving the customs and cultures of indigenous communities that have been largely rejected by society.
Seeing the low rates in the quality of education that Panama has, the neglect of natural areas and mistreated animals, besides being the country where I was born and studied, I decided to collaborate and support volunteer projects or those that were focused on providing educational tools according to the age of the children, to give them within our possibilities a future with better opportunities and adequate social and work possibilities.

Through projects such as Donate your voice, one child, one backpack, donations of school materials, food and transport, we have reached more than 3,000 children in the community where we work.

We try to generate the greatest positive impact in the areas and places where we collaborate.
