The town of El Alto, is the highest large city in the world, situated about 4.000 m above sea level. She is also the destination of migration from the rural and mining areas in Bolivia and grows from day to day, from hour to hour. In the outskirts of El Alto there is no infrastructure of importance, the population does not have access to education and culture; there is a high rate of illiteracy.
Children and teenager, looking for adventures, often drift into delinquency and drug abuse. The mobile unit is a small bus (the same type what is the most common public mean of transport in Bolivia) transformed into a library and school on wheels. Two qualified trainers offer to children and teens to start learning by the means of culture, literature, games – including theatre workshops where the kids will acquire different capacities, self confidence and social skills.
The project will exploit the experience obtained by COMPA in social, cultural and educational work with street children as well as with the “Teatro Camion”, a truck transformed into a stage theatre on wheels, touring through rural areas of Bolivia. Objective of the project is to activate and motivate people living in the outskirts of El Alto by offering education and cultural activities, in particular for children and teens aiming at showing alternatives to street adventures by developing their skills and capacities.
To do: purchase and conversion of the bus, training for the disseminators, purchase of didactic material, start of educational work in the target areas of El Alto.

Its for this reason i write to request you to become our major Supporter/Donor and the Lord will richly bless you.

Dear Mr. Dickson, this is not the right place to ask for support. Please note that this area is for questions and answers about the project and not for open letters to our supporters.
Greetings, Adina Hammoud.

Hallo!Ist es möglich bei diesem Projekt als Freiwillige mitzuhelfen?Ich habe gerade Abitur gemacht und bin 20 Jahre alt.Freu mich über jede Rückmeldung!
A. Hammoud: (Project Responsible) answered almost 5 years ago
Hallo Samantha, im Prinzip kannst Du dort als Freiwillige mitarbeiten, allerdings solltest Du vorher gut überlegen, mit welchen besonderen Kenntnissen Du Dich dort sinnvoll beteiligen kannst. COMPA ist ein soziokulturelles Zentrum, wo alle irgendwelche pädagogischen und/oder künstlerischen Fähigkeiten aufweisen. Es gibt dort jedes Jahr etliche Freiwillige, z.B. einige Deutsche, die meist über WISE e.V. für ein Jahr entsendet werden und vorher eine sehr intensive Vorbereitung absolvieren müssen. Andere Leute kommen auch aus anderen europäischen Ländern. Natürlich kann man sich auch ohne Entsendeorganisation dort gut einbringen - dazu müßtest Du Kontakt mit dem COMPA aufnehmen bzw. mir mitteilen, was konkret Du Dir vorstellst (wie lange, was Du gern machen würdest etc.). Dann könnte ich für Dich anfragen. Das Projekt selbst mit der Mobilen Schule hat noch nicht richtig angefangen, da bisher das Geld zum Kauf des Busses noch längst nicht zusammen ist - da müssen wir noch ordentlich schuften, bis es soweit ist!
Aber in den Niederlassungen von COMPA in El Alto, Cochabamba und Santa Cruz laufen auch andere interessante Sachen. Man kann als Freiwilliger auch sich selbst ein kleines Projekt ausdenken, das zum Profil dort passt und es dem COMPA anbieten (Workshops mit Kindern, oder auch anderen Zielgruppen). Guck doch mal auf die Homepage des COMPA www.compatrono.com, da hast Du einen kleinen Überblick, was dort gemacht wird.
Ich hoffe, das hilft Dir erstmal ein bisschen weiter! Du kannst Dich gern wieder an mich wenden, wenn noch Fragen offen sind, Dir Ideen durch den Kopf schießen etc. - vielleicht wird es ja was!
Viele Grüße und bis bald,
Adina
