The center for disabled kids ´Somos
Hijos del Lago´ was founded in 2004. It is a daycare center for
mentally or physically disabled children in Atitlán, paid and
administered by the parents who fight for the rehabilitation of their
children.
Orbita Spanish School supports the center economically, donating 5% of all
tuition charges to help these kids. There is also volunteer work made by some
of its students where they help the children with:
• Therapy
It's the children's opportunity to overcome the obstacles and to improve
their self esteem by helping them develop their intellectual and functional
skills to the maximum possible level.
• Education
Help us teach the children how to read, write or count.
• Recreation
Play with them, like soccer, basketball, draw, paint, do games.
Go to the market with them to buy fruits and make a licuado (fruit juice),
talk about the colors, the smell or the texture of the fruits, etc.
You can take the children out, for example, rent a kayak, or just for take a
walk.
• Crafts
We are showing them productive ways to make money by:
Making bracelets, necklaces, “piñatas”, paintings,
etc.
We know you can help us make a difference!
