Duration: min. of 6 weeks
Career: social works, (physical) education
Type of organization: girls home for the poor and orphans
Organization:
This boarding school is founded by a religious organisation, helping some of the poor girls from around the city of Esteli. They offer boarding to 10-15 girls, there is place for more but unfortunately there is not enough money to board more kids. Aside the boarding school they have a good school for mixed primary education (about 40 kids), a soup kitchen (about 100-150 kids daily) and they provide courses for adults such as sewing, baking and for work as a beautician.
Internship possibilities:
There is a serious shortage of staff, especially for the boarding school. Aside from helping with the day-to-day work they would like to improve and/ develop parts of the school and/ or house.
Examples of possibilities are:
• Set up a sport program and realise it
• Teach English
• Do tutoring
• Set up and give education on self respect and social abilities/ sexuality/ personal hygiene/ aggression/ etc.
**Guidance: **
Depending on your career internship guide will be one of the teachers, or one of the managing nuns, who both have a Bachelor degree.
**Remarks: **
This home offers you bed and board for a very low price. It is best to come with two persons at the same time. Depending on your Spanish skills a work plan will be made for you, but it is necessary to speak at least basic Spanish at the start of your internship. If you don’t speak Spanish yet then this can be obtained/ improved in Nicaragua itself by having an intensive Spanish course arranged by On- Stage.
