Health and Welfare

Health has an enormous impact on education.  But with the help of volunteers, social partners, and the Government, we are firmly convinced that a healthy and  adequate nutrition could make easier the access to education for a child, and increases its chances of staying in school.

Consequently, the child communicates with others constructively.

With a better pedagogical and moral support, the child learns to respect differences such as –philosophical, religious, physical, cultural, social, gender, self and other.

The child incorporates the rules of common life during activities

The child acquires a better knowledge

 

We wish to inform also that on Saturday’s there are volunteer teachers for additional education support to children in need.  So, on that day lunch is being provided.

Once per week we organize a meeting   with the youngsters for various activities, and to create awareness, and they also participate in pedagogical outings.

Through the work and support of the Organization, 150 (one hundred and fifty) children ageing from 05 to 16 years have found a voice.  Sculpture courses are given to children twice a week by Mr Dick Lewis and on each Saturday there is slam class by Jamel Colin.
