I am going to Bakuva, an organization which takes care of children of a neighborhood of Bilbao, Miribilla, who are in risk of social exclusion. I have already tkae part on volunteering activities but this one is different. This is because it involves a different type of work. I have no problem helping my community with projects such as the organic farm, the journal club or the Banco de alimentos project. However, I will be with actual children in this activity and will be having to take care of them personally, something which I consider to be a challenge, at least for me.
During the Activity:
I will spend two and a half hours this afternoon with children in risk of exclusion. I am gpoing to help them with the homework and play with them. I will have to use appropiate vocabulary and behave properly because the children look up to us as an example. I am looking forward to this experience! I think everything will go all right.
After the Activity:
It was a great afternoon! It was very strange and caused me a great impact to listen to children of such a young age (10 years old), swearing and insulting each other in such ways. However, I managed the situation properly and ending up having a good time.
