About the Project

The Project Corazón Inquieto has been founded by Bureau Connectie Bolivia and is focused on children and youngsters from the market neighborhood Gran Poder. After founding Fundacion Oficina de Conexion Bolivia the Foundation became responsible for the execution of the project. Even though the project is situated in a parochial religious community, it does not have a religious character. The neighborhood Gran Poder is well known as a neighborhood with a lot of problems. Every day approx. 10 new cases apply to Child Welfare, which have something to do with abuse/violence or neglect. There are a lot of problems with alcoholism and the families can barely keep their heads above water. A lot of children are with their mothers on the market, all day long. They play in a box or in the middle of all the merchandise. We think it would be good for these children, to play for several hours in a room especially made for little kids, where they can develop their cognitive, psychological and social skills.

Daycare

The project offers daycare during the morning for children from 2 to 6 years old and in the afternoon from 6 to 13 years old. The children arrive in the morning between 8.30 and 9.00 o’clock and can stay till 12.00/12.30. The children get some breakfast every day they come and later on during the morning, they get a fruit snack. Different kinds of activities are organized for the children to develop themselves a little better. The children that arrive in the afternoon are welcome from 14.30 until 18.00. They get support with their homework and after that, recreation and sports activities are organized. It is very important to offer them a safe place, where they can be with kids of their own age.
