  Help

  it's simply a matter of keeping an eye on the children. These little ones with special needs are extremely intelligent and quick to react. We need an extra pair of hands (and eyes) to assist the teachers and therapists. At the end of the games, we simply need help tidying up the area of the room where they are.
  (just if something is out of place, since order is also important when working with children with autism and special needs and they do their own duties - just to speak)
  
  And (if possible) The kitchen area is merely a volunteer who helps on preparation of the food for the other volunteers who are helping in the classroom. It is a very beautiful experience to support these wise souls in the bodies of children with autism and cognitive delays, and yes, it really works up an appetite -lol-.
  
  Living with these beautiful beings is simple, enriching, and spiritually very pleasant. We are sure that workawayers volunteers will love being part of the family.
