The school holidays are difficult for parents. The children are left on their own in cities and neighbourhoods with no adult supervision. Adults are busy at their daily occupations. Volunteers and local youth will take part in organising and training these children under the supervision of Poya International in partnership with the educational association, Akonda. The activities include courses on subjects such as French, maths etc. The programme runs from 9 to 12 each morning. The afternoons will be devoted to games and recreational activities from 15.00 to 17.30. Saturday and Sunday are free. There may be cultural excursions.
Accommodation:
Volunteers will be lodged at the same place.

« I can say that the best things about the workcamp and this whole experience were the chance of making a real difference to the lives of very needy children. This is an extremely valuable project where volunteers can have a massive impact. Also the possibility of learning a huge amount about a country so different from our own. I learnt ten times as much by carrying out a workcamp than I would ever do backpacking. »
