The Casa Hogar takes place in the city of San Cristóbal de las Casas and occupies a space that was built to be a hotel, however, due to external circumstances the opportunity was not given, so it now houses a home for children in need. street Children have been separated from their family due to some type of abuse, they have been orphaned or because at their age or some particular trait - some disability, for example - they have not found an adoptive family.
The Casa Hogar has been in business for almost 8 years and its main objective is to give the love and support that every child needs in their growth through educational, emotional and physical care, that is, so that they can find a family in the Casa Hogar. Therefore, they are currently cared for by two people who take care of the center. Currently, 14 children are cared for, whose ages range from 5 to 20 years old.

ACTIVITIES: The volunteers will be sharing the activities with the boys and girls of the home. For the most part, when carried out during the holiday period, they will be activities that are aimed at motivating children's creativity, through art workshops (music, crafts, drawing, singing), reading comprehension, English, cooking workshops and/or recreational recreational activities that promote motor skills, values and learning in our children. So all proposals are more than welcome.
