"Zatik" Child Support Center
The volunteer at the "Zatik" Child Support Center will gain insight into the limited perspectives of disadvantaged children and help broaden their horizons. By introducing them to foreign cultures and societies, the volunteer will foster tolerance and enhance the children's language skills, which can improve their future employment opportunities. The project's main goal is to provide educational activities and support the children in preparing for independent living and managing daily tasks. Engaging volunteers in the children’s daily lives offers a valuable opportunity for cultural exchange and enriches the overall program.
