At Santa
Luísa de Marillac and S. Vicente de Paulo schools, the ALG After-Classes Support
Centres are development spaces where poorer children can develop and
strengthen their learning skills. ALG finances after-class support to promote
study habits and interest in education on the more underprivileged children of
these schools, children that usually are already under UPG Portugal’s sponsored
programme. This project selects younger and vulnerable children to improve their
school performance, to feel incentivised and to avoid abandoning school at an
early stage.
“We feel some children participate more
frequently in the class room, acquired reading habits and express themselves in
the Portuguese [official, non-dialect] language. We are happy to know that many
are showing signs of progress and will have good final grades.” These are words of our local technician Sister Aida
in S. Vicente de Paulo which make us happy to know that the after-classes study
support is bearing fruits.
At
the two schools, SLM and SVP, a total of 306 attend the after-class support. From
£9/month, per child, we secure daily adequate school support, focusing on
subjects like Mathematics and Portuguese with the help of a monitor, e even
provide an afternoon snack which is essential to stimulate the students
assiduity.
ALG has been offering this festive calendar to all ALG Friends since 2011. This year, you can also print a high definition version for only 1£!
