A student of the double degree in Social Education and Social Work at the University of Deusto tells us about... 

"A normal day at the center consisted of getting up first thing in the morning, and after praying the prayer of the day and having breakfast together, we proceeded to carry out the morning's activities. Generally, at the beginning of the day, sewing workshops, handicrafts, marzipan, educational reinforcement of the required subjects, "minga" (which consisted of cleaning the outside patio together), etc. were held. After lunch, the afternoon activity began, which consisted of dynamics focused on values and organized by the volunteers. They could be carried out separately (each volunteer with his or her group), joining several groups, or jointly. If the children had behaved well throughout the day, as a reward, the evening activity was held after dinner, consisting of bonfires, movie watching, theater or other activities. 

Albergue "La Dolorosa" for 2015, protects, orients, trains children at risk in order to achieve social insertion and seeks the recovery of parents and family reintegration, through comprehensive and integrated actions in the areas of education, health, food-nutrition, counseling, psychological care, recreation and training.

What are we going to do?

Accompaniment in daily tasks with the children and young people of the hostel.

2. Moments of school support.

3. Monitors of recreational and cultural activities.

Previous training. Contact with the project managers to specify the activities to be developed.

Children and young people under the center's care in the adoption process

All students selected for the VUELA program will receive common training for participation in volunteer activities. 

Consult YOUR UNIVERSITY in the following links for training dates, location and conditions.  Don't forget to mark them in your calendar. This training is mandatory and is part of the project. 

The field accompaniment will be carried out by the organization itself throughout the project, as well as by a person from the convening universities who will accompany the experience in the field.

The home provides room and board.  It is possible that you may apply for an expense allowance. The amounts will be communicated prior to arrival, as well as the method of payment.
