[DeepL:] Patenkinder Berlin arranges and supervises leisure time sponsorships for children. Our target group are on the one hand children who have a care degree and on the other hand refugee children. For these girls and boys we are looking for voluntary sponsors. They are selected by us, receive further training and are accompanied during the sponsorship period. The children and the volunteers spend 2-4 hours together once a week. During this time, depending on the age and interests of the children, they can go on excursions together, go to the playground, do handicrafts or read to the children. The children are usually between 3 and 12 years old.
For us, the most important thing is to provide the children with an additional relationship. Because 1to1 sponsorships are a very effective support tool, the children learn a lot during the sponsorship period and at the same time enjoy playing, exercising and taking part in exciting leisure activities. The sponsorships run for at least one year. During this time, the sponsors become an important reference person for the children. In order for the sponsorships to work well, it is also important that there is an open relationship between the volunteers and the parents that allows room for discussion.
Interested parents or volunteers who would like to learn more about the project or the requirements for participation can contact us at any time.
