Activities & Shift

From Monday to Friday between 10:00 and 12:00 we have our morning classes. That's our way to give, those who cannot afford to go to schools, a chance to learn at least the basics of the different subjects.

During the weekdays between 14:00 and 16:00, we just started our afternoon games. We think that the mixture of playing, singing and dancing can have a positive impact on the individual development of the children and can also promote cohesion and encouragement throughout the whole neighbourhood.

Every Saturday in the morning we organise events which so far contains several games for the children and teenagers on a field in the neighbourhood and we hope to generate more attention from the people in a
