Helping street boys in Nicaragua

I arrived at Granada Street Kids after one and a half months of volunteering at a famous volunteer organisation in Granada. I had left it because I was feeling frustrated to not be able to help the kids individually and make sure no one is left behind in the class. So what a relief when I discovered Granada Street Kids!
As I requested, I worked at the administration of the school, helping the director with everyday school-related work. In this frame, I was also able to take the initiative to expand their online visibility. I started, as an example, their official Facebook page. In the beginning, I was also assisting the Academics teacher in Spanish and Math. That is how I realised one of the students of the class could not read or write. Therefore I offered to give him one-to-one lessons and suggested he has a special timetable.

A typical day of a volunteer at Granada Street Kids:
7.30am: breakfast served with the boys
8am: start working (aministration/class)
12pm: lunch served with the boys and the staff members
1pm: start working again
4pm (3pm some Fridays): end of work. Possibility to organise after-school activities with the boys (football, art, dance, making pulseras etc.) or of course to go out.
5.30pm: dinner served with the boys
6pm: More activities or going out

I got to speak Spanish all day long and the boys were mature enough to understand this is not my mother tongue and hence to adapt (speak slowly, explain etc.) I got to improve a lot!
