La Granja tiene varios campos de acción en
los que el estudiante podrá ofrecer su
colaboración en la medida de sus posibilidades,
estos son:
-
La Granja tiene una bella casa central ,
que fue donada por una familia, y puede ser
alquilada por compañías o personas para
eventos sociales. El dinero del alquiler
ayuda a financiar las múltiples actividades.
A continuación el testimonio del Dr. John
Jackson
sobre su voluntariado (en inglés):
My vacation in Bogotá
Colombia is one of the finest I’ve had in many
years because of the volunteer program offered
to students while studying Spanish here at Nueva
Lengua Escuela de español Universidad de la
Sabana.
I volunteered in a Charity
called La Granja. The program gave me the
opportunity to work with two groups of children.
The first group range in age from 2 to 4 years
old. The second group are girls ranging in age
from 14 to 17 years old.
Even
though my ability to communicate effectively in
Spanish was limited, the management and Staff of
the farm have been extremely helpful and
considerate. They know I want to be of help so
they have been more than willing to help me
accomplish that.
I have enjoyed helping the
smaller children play games, work puzzles and
use the playground equipment.
The older girls are indeed
young ladies so I treat them as such,
consequently we have a great time using both
English, which they are studying and the Spanish
I am learning at the University.
They are very enthusiastic
about learning English, so during the time I
accompany the girls when they feed the rabbits,
plant vegetables and various fruit products I
help them with their English which they seem to
appreciate.
We all laugh a lot as we
struggle to communicate with each other about
our lives and dreams for the future.
There is much more I could
say about how much I’ve enjoyed the Spanish
course at the University and the volunteer
program.
I will be glad to correspond
with anyone interested in having an experience
of a life time. You can email me in the USA at:
