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.

Konum ve Serbest Zaman
San Cristóbal de las Casas, also known by its native Tzotzil name, Jovel, is a town and municipality located in the Central Highlands region of the Mexican state of Chiapas. It was the capital of the state until 1892, and is still considered the cultural capital of Chiapas.
The municipality is mostly made up of mountainous terrain, but the city sits in a small valley surrounded by hills. The city’s center maintains its Spanish colonial layout and much of its architecture, with red tile roofs, cobblestone streets and wrought iron balconies often with flowers. Most of the city’s economy is based on commerce, services and tourism.
Tourism is based on the city’s history, culture and indigenous population, although the tourism itself has affected the city, giving it foreign elements. Major landmarks of the city include the Cathedral, the Santo Domingo church with its large open air crafts market and the Casa Na Bolom museum. The municipality has suffered severe deforestation, but it has natural attractions such as caves and rivers.
