Resumo: "Kindergarten protect:
The voluntary wok takes place in the two kindergartens of Municipality of Vocha. In our school can participate children in between 2- 5 years dd. Our motivation to host EVS volunteers is the support and help in the every day work of the kindergarten.

The volunteers will assist the staff in the daily childcare and organise his/her own small project depending on his/her skills and ideas (e.g. music, handicraft, theatre, games etc). A further important aspect of the project is to give the volunteer the opportunity to put into the practice his/her ideas and to reflect upon this with experienced staff of our school. Our main aims are the introduction of new activities taken by the volunteers for the daily life of the children, the promotion and contact with new cultures, especially from the volunteer origin, moreover to develop the artistic abilities of the children and to help the teachers in their activities

Our goal is to develop the international understanding of the children, we would like to give them the way of thinking from this early age when they can adopt new things easier that they can cooperate and communicate with people from other countries by overcoming ianguage difficulties and cultural differences. to this way we can fight against racism, xenophobia and discrimination. We would like to encourage the volunteers to come up with ideas and carry out in cooperation with the staff of the school for the benefit of the children, the teachers as well as the volunteers themselves and we would appreciate it the volunteers brought games, music, short movies, pictures from their countries, about their countries.
The volunteers will work every day (Monday to Friday) from 8:00 to 14:00. During the voluntary service the volunteers have twelve days vacation that should be matched to the vacation timetable of the kindergarten, and the Saturdays and Sundays are free as well.
The tasks for each volunteer will be adjusted to his/her personal abilities and needs. We would like to stress that none of the tasks can be seen as employment substitution, moreover we would like to stress the importance of giving ideas, taking initiatives by the volunteer. The host and the coordinating organization is open for new ideas and support the initiatives.
