CEDAM - práca v školskej družine – aktivity s deťmi (vrátane detí s poruchami učenia)

CEDAM (Centro Especializado Diurno de Atencion al Menor) is the non governmental, non profit organization. Functions like the education center for the children with emotional and behaviour problems, dyslexia, dysortografia, dyscalculia and many more. The personnel of the school includes specialists for the Psychology, Fonoaudiology, Psychomotorology, Music-therapy and teachers of handicrafts and computers. CEDAM is cooperating with a nursery CAIF – Los Pitufos which has experiences with volunteers mainly from Montevideo´s universities. The CAIF nursery is a state institution taking care of children aged 1 to 4. The institution offers its services for no fee, and parents can bring their children in for four to eight hours every day. The CAIF Los Pitufos nursery is situated in an area with a high concentration of low-income families.
The main task of each volunteer working in CEDAM, will be to support the professional personnel of the education centre. A volunteer can decide if he wants to help in the morning or in the afternoon classes. He can participate in the classes of Art, Mathematics, Spanish, Natural Science and Dance. The age range of the pupils is very wide from six to twenty-five years. They are divided into the four groups according to their abilities. Each group has up to 12 kids. The working week of each volunteer consists of five working days of 5 hours/day.
 In CAIF, the volunteers help teachers and educators with all their activities such as basic care of children, their psycho-motoric skills, help children to learn basic habits such as eating, dressing, or regular sleeping. Moreover, volunteers play with children, come up with new games, and teach children songs. Besides these activities, volunteers spread their culture not only among kids, but also among their colleagues. This way, people learn about new cultures and this learning process can help to avoid possible prejudices against Europeans.
