The Participant profile: We strongly believe that all the young people who are willing to collaborate & are thirsty for learning, can realize a very good & fruitful program as long as they are not afraid to “get their hands dirty” & see the glass as "half full" instead of “half empty"! Because the public schools are a "live Organism", our only requirement is the volunteer to be positive, creative, flexible, ready to offer also respect and adapt to our Island’s community and habits. Will be highly appreciated the volunteers who look the glass half-full instead of half-empty, enjoy to work with schools and children, and assist the institutions of the island that heavily rely on volunteers.Deadline:
