| Working with sexually and physically abused girls | |
|
This project is open to women volunteers who are interested in providing social support to young girls who are survivors of violence. The local Peruvian organization provides a safe haven for the young girls who have been physically and sexually abused. Currently, the organization is assisting approximately 45 girls between the ages of 3 and 13. The shelter is a secure environment for the girls to heal the past, rebuild their lives and work towards developing a positive and healthy future. The volunteers will work closely with staff members from the shelter and will have the opportunity to conduct activities that are in line with their personal skills, experiences and interests. Volunteers are encouraged to take part in a variety of educational and recreational activities in addition to developing and implementing workshops. Possible activities include: helping with homework, English lessons, teaching computer skills, sports, music, dance, handicrafts and workshops in sewing, weaving, painting etc. By exuding affection, enthusiasm and dedication to your volunteer
work, you will help these young girls build self-confidence and
self-esteem. |
