Volunteers
Bernardo and Filipe had many ideas and initiatives during the time they spent
with ALG on the ground. One of the best was ALG Sports’ week – an intensive
week to learn Portuguese with the incentive of sports and one hot meal, offered
to every UPG Portugal Sponsored children in SVP. And it was a success!
"The sports’ week
programme started in the best possible way. In the beginning, we thought that
children wouldn’t participate, but on the first
day we had 75 children and the next day
83, their enthusiasm exceeded our expectations. The main goal of these two
weeks is to teach Portuguese. Most children were from the 1st to the 4th grade.
The older children were present to help and were very committed in assisting
us. Besides the sports activities, we also developed several games and physical
activities. Lunch was delicious and all the children enjoyed it."
