Program Details

The library opens three days a week and welcomes around 45 children and adolescents. We offer activities like:

📚 Reading mediation
🎨 Art and creative workshops
🧁 Community snack sharing
🧩 Guided and free play


Your presence will help promote childhood rights, encourage local culture, and make books, stories, and affection part of everyday life. 💛


As a volunteer, you’ll support a grassroots initiative that believes in education, joy, and belonging. You’ll help create a nurturing environment where every child is seen, heard, and inspired.

More than helping with tasks, you’ll share stories, learn from the local culture, and co-create a space of love, listening, and transformation 🌟. Whether you're passionate about literature, arts, or child development, there's space for your talents and ideas here.
