Description of organization

 

This kids shelter was founded by a wealthy Danish man whose aim is to improve the future of the poor children in Granada in a sustainable way. His kids shelter is well-known throughout Granada and surroundings. The shelter provides education, nutrition, sport, some healthcare and is trying to improve the self-esteem, manners and chances of the children.

 

Outside school hours (which are only half day) the children can come to the center. They get tutoring for their homework, dance-, computer, English lessons. This will hopefully contribute to a better future for them. And for now it keeps them off the streets. Many kids who attend the center are ‘high-risk’ children, they come from poor and often broken families. Some parents are in jail, others addicts or working abroad.

Depending on your Spanish skills you can choose to focus on teaching English classes or also help with the other classes. There are 6 groups in the morning and 6 groups in the afternoon. One group for each school level.
