I’m the founder and project manager for a volunteer organization called Corazon
de Apus. We find local children living in poverty or with difficult family situations
and bring them to a safe place after school where they can learn English with
the volunteers from Western countries, get homework help, and simply play and
escape their problems. We also pitch in (everyone gives some money) to
provide them with school supplies, dental care, and uniforms.
