Volunteering with 2 year old son

March 07, 2025by: Dolores A - BelgiumProgram: Kindergarten Support in Costa Rica

Because the rain, I couldn’t go to the school and I jumped into another project. It didn’t match with my son of 2.5years old. The first week has been really hard. The second week was better. The team who support me in the project has been fantastic. They listened to me, gave me support and options. From the 3de week, my son and I could start properly our voluntaring job in the school. From that moment it has been amazing. The teachers and the children were great. I got the opportunity to teach my first yoga class with kids and we were included for the Christmas festival ( my son has been on the stage with the kids of our class). Local team has been fantastic and awesome. Great skills of Listening to, supporting and helping. Good time with the family host.
