The Experience

To define environmental awareness we must need environmentalists. Create Environmental awareness is to understand the fragility of our environment and the importance of its protection. Promoting environmental awareness is an easy way to become an environmental steward and participate in creating a brighter future for our children. Learning via real life, outdoors and hands-on experience/sensory input. -Multiple Intelligence & Integrated Learning

My experience as a volunteer in the school lived up to my expectations. I had never teach children before, the whole team (teacher, director, etc.) was there to help me do my daily tasks better. The house they provide us with is clean and spacious.

The volunteer's dedication and patience in working with children with diverse needs, especially considering her status as a new teacher, have been truly remarkable. Her willingness to learn and adapt quickly to meet the children's requirements has had a significant impact on their development and well-being. Her compassionate approach and commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of these children are greatly appreciated. We are fortunate to have had such a dedicated and caring volunteer on our team.

I had a really nice experience at the school, so joyful, funny and also challenging sometimes, i loved that! I received a really warm welcome from every one around it, from the kids, teachers, neighbors, just everyone made me feel like in home, Nani!🙏 unfortunately I needed to leave 2 weeks before for a special case, so I couldn't join them as much as I would like to....i really appreciate your attention at any time, thank you all of you to share this beautiful experience 🍃 Hope to see you soon again❤️

Nauzet Miguel's organizational skills are commendable as well. He efficiently plans and executes the sessions, ensuring that the necessary equipment and materials are readily available. He also maintains clear communication with the school administration, teachers, and parents. In summary, the all-rounder yoga volunteer Nauzet at our primary school has proven to be an invaluable asset to our community. His exceptional skills, dedication, and genuine care for the well-being of our students have had a profound impact. We wholeheartedly recommend Nauzet Miguel as a volunteer to any educational institution seeking to enhance the physical, mental, and emotional development of their students through the practice of yoga.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Adriana's involvement is her creativity. She effortlessly incorporates fun and engaging activities into the curriculum, sparking the children's imagination and thirst for knowledge. Whether it's organising interactive games, arts and crafts sessions, or storytelling adventures, she consistently goes above and beyond to make every day special.

"Our house is your house, you are part of our family now", are phrases that members of the school family told me not only with words but especially with their actions. I will miss you all! Thank you, because by volunteering at your side, I felt that I left a mark, for your kindness, your warmth, your trust and your constant support with everything I needed; you helped me to have confidence and faith. I wish you all the best and a big hug to you, Anish, Maya, to your amazing team of teachers, and your beloved children. If you want to teach, to learn and to contribute, come to the school.

What truly sets Sandra apart is her unwavering patience and understanding. She recognises that every person has a unique learning style and pace, and she tailors her approach accordingly. Her ability to create a nurturing and inclusive environment allows each person to flourish and develop their skills and confidence. She serves as an excellent role model, teaching the children, and teachers the importance of empathy, teamwork, and perseverance.
