Routine in Střep

In Střep center there are two full-time professionals and anothers six that worked only once a week. Klara and Misha are educator and social worker, respectively, is a pleasure to work with them, have a great relationship with the children and are the cornerstone of my adaptation to European Voluntering Service. Both organize workshops and projects such as helping children in school and social stuffs. My schedule is from twelve to five during the school year and in the holidays from nine to eleven and from one to five.

Střep Program

We started the week with our class of Czech, is only one hour weekly, i guess that this is the worst of my volunteer work as Silvia and I were at different levels and the language is not only difficult, it is also really important to be able to carry out the job effectively, the beginners are very complicated to communicate with the children.
Once the class is finished I am going straight to work.

Monday is the workshop of Klara (one of the workers that comes only once a week) with which they are usually made artistic activities such as calendars, postcards, masks, etc.

On Tuesdays we enjoyed Cristina, the mentor of Silvia, which gives them a dance workshop to children, is a young girl and accompanies its classes of mats and modern music, which facilitates the participation of children. Cristina is learning Spanish because he wants to go on exchange in summer to Spain so that Silvia and I are helping her in everything that we can.

The Wednesday Richard and Aneta work in Střep, she makes a craft workshop and after one hour of sport with Richard. The organization rents the gym of the school that is near to the center and normally we play floorball, that is like hockey but in a playground, and the last fifteen minutes playing "vybijena" a game very similar to the typical "balón prisionero". The Wednesday the center opens up to the eight o'clock in the afternoon, but the last hour is only for teenagers over fifteen years old.

Thursday is the journalism workshop "Střep Face" that carries another volunteer, my colleague Silvia, we organize to children on the computers and make topical articles, crosswords, speak of the activities carried out in the center, etc. then Patricia makes activities, of all types, both sports and crafts.

Friday is the program of Klara, it often leads to championships of ping pong, movies as gymkhanas, etc. The ping pong is one of the activities more appealed, the kids love it and it gives them very well, much better than me :)

This is, definitely, a week in my EVS, without forgetting the English lessons, with the same teacher who gives us Czech, is called Jana, is a charming professional and very close to us, She has helped me a lot. I have three hours a week of english and are these days that I take this opportunity to use the bicycle that gives me the organization, a very good competition bike.
