Our international volunteers work at the kinder providing programs for young children in the morning and enrichment activities for the older kids when they get out of school later in the day. The idea to build a kinder began when a retired American couple opened their home in El Porvenir to about 20 local children to teach them basic skills. Because many children had never attended school, some of these “kindergarten” students are in their teens. Founders, Amalia and Charlie initiated the construction of the new kinder and day-care to be able to provide these kids with a daily nutritious meal, educational enrichment and a safe place to play and “hang out.”
